Materials Data on Fe3Se4 by Materials Project
Fe3Se4 is MAX Phase-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Fe3Se4 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Fe+2.67+ sites. In the first Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FeSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–49°. There are three shorter (2.40 Å) and three longer (2.48 Å) Fe–Se bond lengths. In the second Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FeSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–49°. There are four shorter (2.53 Å) and two longer (2.55 Å) Fe–Se bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded to six Fe+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SeFe6 pentagonal pyramids. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Fe+2.67+ atoms.
