Materials Data on LaSe2 by Materials Project
LaSe2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Se+1.50- atoms. There are a spread of La–Se bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.27 Å. There are two inequivalent Se+1.50- sites. In the first Se+1.50- site, Se+1.50- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La3+ atoms. In the second Se+1.50- site, Se+1.50- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La3+ and one Se+1.50- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.50 Å.
