Fragmentation of an infinite ZnO2 square plane into discrete [ZnO2]2- linear units in the oxyselenide Ba2ZnO2Ag2Se2.
Analysis of single crystal X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, electron diffraction and Zn-K-edge EXAFS data show that Ba2ZnO2Ag2Se2 contains unusual isolated [ZnO2]2- moieties resulting from fragmentation of a ZnO2 infinite plane placed under tension.
