Chromium(II) selenide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CrSe. It crystalizes in a hexagonal structure with space group P63/mmc.[3] It is one of many related chromium-selenium phases, including Cr2Se3, as well as Cr7Se8, Cr3Se4, Cr0.68Se, and Cr5Se8.[3] The compound has been described as an antiferromagnet, but its inverse magnetic susceptibility does not match the behavior expected for an antiferromagnet according to the Curie–Weiss law.[1] One suggestion was that the Néel temperature is at 320 K, as the temperature where the compound has maximum specific heat.[4] When synthesized as single atomic layer, CrSe is ferromagnetic, with a Curie Temperature of around 280 K.[5]
