Materials Data on Zn3Se by Materials Project
Zn3Se is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Se atoms. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Zn–Se bond lengths. Se is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing SeZn12 cuboctahedra.
