CuSe2 is Marcasite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu3+ is bonded to six equivalent Se+1.50- atoms to form CuSe6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent CuSe6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent SeCu3Se tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CuSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 61°. There are four shorter (2.57 Å) and two longer (2.58 Å) Cu–Se bond lengths. Se+1.50- is bonded to three equivalent Cu3+ and one Se+1.50- atom to form distorted SeCu3Se tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CuSe6 octahedra, corners with thirteen equivalent SeCu3Se tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SeCu3Se tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 71–75°. The Se–Se bond length is 2.37 Å.
