Germanium (II) selenide is an inorganic chemical compound of germanium from the group of selenides .
Extraction and presentation
Germanium (II) selenide can be obtained by reacting germanium with selenium at 600 to 700 ° C and low pressure.
properties
Germanium (II) selenide is a gray solid with an orthorhombic crystal structure ( space group Pcmn (space group no. 62, position 4) , a = 4.38 Å , b = 3.82 Å, c = 10.79 Å). At low pressure it noticeably evaporates from 520–560 ° C. There is also a high-temperature form from 651 ° C with a cubic crystal structure and the space group Fm 3 m (space group no. 225) .
