Materials Data on WSe2 by Materials Project
WSe2 is Molybdenite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two WSe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. W4+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Se bond lengths are 2.55 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms.
