Cerium monoselenide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CeSe. It exists in the form of Ce³⁺Se²⁻(e⁻).^[2]

Preparation

Cerium monoselenide can be obtained by reducing cerium selenide with metallic sodium at 600 °C (or calcium at 1000 °C):^[2]

Ce₂Se₃ + 2Na → 2CeSe + Na₂Se

The reduction of cerium selenide by cerium dihydride can also produce cerium monoselenide:^[1]

Ce₂Se₃ + CeH₂ → 3 CeSe + H₂↑

Like many other rare earth monochalcogenides, Cerium monoselenide has metallic-type electrical conductivity and a NaCl-type crystal structure.^[3]
