Materials Data on Cr(FeSe2)2 by Materials Project
Cr(FeSe2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr3+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form CrSe6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent FeSe6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CrSe6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent FeSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–56°. There are two shorter (2.53 Å) and four longer (2.56 Å) Cr–Se bond lengths. Fe+2.50+ is bonded to six Se2- atoms to form FeSe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CrSe6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent FeSe6 octahedra, and a faceface with one CrSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–56°. There are a spread of Fe–Se bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr3+ and three equivalent Fe+2.50+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cr3+ and three equivalent Fe+2.50+ atoms.
