Mercury selenite (Hg₂SeO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing mercury, selenium, and oxygen. This is a specialized material primarily of research and scientific interest rather than established industrial production. The material family of mercury-containing selenites has been investigated for potential applications in optics, radiation detection, and specialized electronic devices, though practical deployment remains limited due to mercury's toxicity concerns and the compound's sensitivity to processing conditions.
