Synthesis and structures of compounds Na/sub x/VSe2

  • 1. Rijksuniversiteit, Groningen, Netherlands

Description

Compounds Na/sub x/VSe2, prepared from the elements, crystallize in two different forms: Type I for 0.5 < or = x < or = 0.7 and Type II for x = 1. The structures of Na0.6VSe2 and NaVSe2 were refined from neutron-diffraction powder data. Both compounds have vanadium in trigonally distorted octahedra which are elongated in the direction of the trigonal axis for Type I (V--Se = 2.516 A) and compressed for Type II (V--Se = 2.588 A). Na is in trigonal-prismatic coordination for Type I (Na--Se = 2.972 A) and in trigonally distorted octahedra for Type II (Na--Se = 2.947 A). The bonding is discussed. NaVSe2 is an ionic compound analogous to NaCrSe2
