Abstract: The salts [NCH₃H₃] [O₃SeNHCH₃] and [N(CH₃)₂H₂] [O₃SeN(CH₃)₂] were prepared by the reaction of potassium diselenate with methylamine or dime thy lamině. The binary substitution of these substances in non-aqueous medium gave rise to potassium ammonium, and silver N-methyl- or N-dimethylamidoselenates, respectively. The aminolysis of methylselenates also results in the formation of N-substituted amidoselenates. N-Methyl- and N-dimethylamidoselenates thus prepared were characterized on the basis of powder diagrams and infrared spectra. They are the substances which are thermally unstable and show a tendency to solvolyse. The [O₃SeNHCH₃]^- as well as [O₃SeN(CH₃)₂]^- ions are more stable only in weak alkaline aqueous solutions. This fact was used for their identification and for testing the purity of all salts prepared by paperchromatography.
