YbSe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to five equivalent Se(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing YbSe5 trigonal bipyramids. Se(1) is bonded to five equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SeYb5 trigonal bipyramids.
YbSe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to five equivalent Se(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing YbSe5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (2.94 Å) Yb(1)-Se(1) bond lengths. Se(1) is bonded to five equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SeYb5 trigonal bipyramids.
