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.
