I'm sorry but methylseleninic acid is the same structure as methaneseleninic acid as far as I know. I'm know my chemistry isn't always 100% but still.....

S

S

i have emailed it to someone who knows their stuff...!!! and sigmas technical department..!! thanks for your help..
this is the point i wish i had taken chemistry!!

H

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just assumed you weren't a chemist and neither is your supervisor.

I meant it in that I am technically a chemist but generally useless in that area nowadays.

Good luck!

S

thanks! hoping the nice people at sigma can give me an answer... scared to mess it up as this expeirment will be the main part of my thesis... scary!

This thread reminds me of that film Evolution where Mulder decides the aliens will die if they are subjected to head and shoulders which contain selenium.
