Materials Data on K(NiSe)2 by Materials Project
KNi2Se2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Se2- atoms. All K–Se bond lengths are 3.40 Å. Ni+1.50+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiSe4 tetrahedra. All Ni–Se bond lengths are 2.39 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and four equivalent Ni+1.50+ atoms.
