Materials Data on AgSe5 by Materials Project
AgSe5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two AgSe5 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ag2+ is bonded to four Se+0.40- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing AgSe4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ag–Se bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.89 Å. There are five inequivalent Se+0.40- sites. In the first Se+0.40- site, Se+0.40- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ag2+ and one Se+0.40- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.36 Å. In the second Se+0.40- site, Se+0.40- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Se+0.40- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.33 Å. In the third Se+0.40- site, Se+0.40- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Se+0.40- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.42 Å. In the fourth Se+0.40- site, Se+0.40- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ag2+ and two Se+0.40- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.33 Å. In the fifth Se+0.40- site, Se+0.40- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ag2+ and one Se+0.40- atom.
