Materials Data on TaWSe4 by Materials Project
TaSe2WSe2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one TaSe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one WSe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the TaSe2 sheet, Ta5+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TaSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Ta–Se bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta5+ atoms. In the WSe2 sheet, W3+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Se bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W3+ atoms.
