Materials Data on CsAuSe3 by Materials Project
CsAuSe3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Se bond distances ranging from 3.66–4.04 Å. Au5+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Se2- atoms. Both Au–Se bond lengths are 2.45 Å. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, one Au5+, and one Se2- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.43 Å. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Se2- atoms.
