Materials Data on GeAsSe by Materials Project
GeAsSe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two GeAsSe sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to two equivalent As2- and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form corner-sharing GeAs2Se2 tetrahedra. Both Ge–As bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Both Ge–Se bond lengths are 2.39 Å. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to two equivalent As2- and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form corner-sharing GeAs2Se2 tetrahedra. Both Ge–As bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Both Ge–Se bond lengths are 2.41 Å. As2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Ge4+ and one As2- atom. The As–As bond length is 2.49 Å. Se2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Ge4+ atoms.
