The CdSe (B_e) Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

---

• Prototype: CdSb
• Pearson Symbol: oP16
• Strukturbericht Designation: B_e
• Space Group: Pbca (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 61
• Other compounds with this structure: AsCd, AsZn, SbZn
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	b Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:
  
  Since there are a lot of atoms here, and the conversion from
  Cartesian to orthorhombic lattice coordinates is obvious,
  we'll only list the Cartesian positions of the atoms:
  
  

  B1	=	+ x1 a X + y1 b Y + z1 c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B2	=	(½ + x1) a X + (½ - y1) b Y - z1 c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B3	=	- x1 a X + (½ + y1) b Y + (½ - z1) c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B4	=	(½ - x1) a X - y1 b Y + (½ + z1) c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B5	=	- x1 a X - y1 b Y - z1 c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B6	=	(½ - x1) a X + (½ + y1) b Y + z1 c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B7	=	+ x1 a X + (½ - y1) b Y + (½ + z1) c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B8	=	(½ + x1) a X + y1 b Y + (½ - z1) c Z	(8c)	(Cd)
  B9	=	+ x2 a X + y2 b Y + z2 c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B10	=	(½ + x2) a X + (½ - y2) b Y - z2 c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B11	=	- x2 a X + (½ + y2) b Y + (½ - z2) c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B12	=	(½ - x2) a X - y2 b Y + (½ + z2) c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B13	=	- x2 a X - y2 b Y - z2 c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B14	=	(½ - x2) a X + (½ + y2) b Y + z2 c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B15	=	+ x2 a X + (½ - y2) b Y + (½ + z2) c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
  B16	=	(½ + x2) a X + y2 b Y + (½ - z2) c Z	(8c)	(Sb)
