Will selenium react or bond, ionic or covalent, with vanadium? I was recently asked if $\ce{Se}$ will bond with $\ce{V}$, creating a compound $\ce{SeV}$ . I am not sure if this is even possible but if so I'd like to find out.
The ASM Alloy Phase Diagram Database (at asminternational.org if you have access) shows that $V_{2}Se_{9}$, $V_{5}Se_{8}$, $V_{3}Se_{4}$ $V_{5}Se_{4}$, and $VSe$ are all accepted stable phases in the Se-V binary system.
