Materials Data on NbSe4 by Materials Project
NbSe4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two NbSe4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are six inequivalent Nb2+ sites. In the first Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.64 Å) and four longer (2.76 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. In the second Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.72 Å) and four longer (2.73 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. In the third Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.64 Å) and four longer (2.77 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. In the fourth Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.64 Å) and four longer (2.77 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. In the fifth Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.64 Å) and four longer (2.76 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. In the sixth Nb2+ site, Nb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Se+0.50- atoms. There are four shorter (2.72 Å) and four longer (2.73 Å) Nb–Se bond lengths. There are six inequivalent Se+0.50- sites. In the first Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms. In the second Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms. In the third Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms. In the fourth Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms. In the fifth Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms. In the sixth Se+0.50- site, Se+0.50- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Nb2+ atoms.
