:not() Selector in a multiple select

I have a multiple select and I need just to access the items which are not selected

I tried the following code but it does not work because it returns also the selected items. Any hints how to fix this code?

$('select.myMultippleSelect option:not(selected)');

[
<option value=​"13">​Normal User​</option>​
, 
<option value=​"14" selected=​"selected">​Euna Baumbach​</option>​
, 
<option value=​"15">​Test​</option>​
]

There's a typo, should be a : before selected. Does that exist in your code? If it does, there's your problem.
