Materials Data on KSe by Materials Project
KSe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Se1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.39 Å) and four longer (3.46 Å) K–Se bond lengths. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Se1- atoms. There are four shorter (3.32 Å) and two longer (3.39 Å) K–Se bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Se1- sites. In the first Se1- site, Se1- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six K1+ and one Se1- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.45 Å. In the second Se1- site, Se1- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six K1+ and one Se1- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.44 Å.
