Materials Data on CuSeO5 by Materials Project
CuSeO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CuO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.48 Å. Se is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.86 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one Se atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Cu and one Se atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one Se atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.26 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one O atom.
