1. A method for recovering, removing, or scavenging a metal from a target, the method comprising:
- contacting the target containing the metal with a medium or a scaffold comprising a selenium-containing functional group which is linked to the medium by a sulfur-containing functional group selected from a thiol or a thiolate, whereby the selenium-containing functional group specifically binds to the metal and separates the metal from at least one remaining component in the target; and
,separating the medium or the scaffold from the target, wherein the target is a material selected from the group comprising of;
an aqueous material, a reaction mixture, a complex material, and a biological sample.
