<div>The Xe···OCS complex is studied using microwave spectroscopy. Nine isotopologues are measured, and a mass-dependent rm(2) structure is presented. The experiments are supported with a wide array of calculations, including CCSD(T), SAPT, as well as double-hybrid DFT. Trends in the structures of six Rg···OCS complexes (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Hg) are investigated, with particular attention to the deformation of the OCS monomer and relativistic effects. The experimental near-equilibrium structure of Xe···OCS can be predicted to within 11 milliangstrom in the Xe···C distance by correlated wavefunction theory.<br></div>

In the ongoing pursuit of inorganic compounds suitable for solid-state devices, transition metal chalcogenides have received heightened attention due to their physical and chemical properties. Recently, alkali-ion transition metal chalcogenides have been explored as promising candidates to be applied in optoelectronics, photovoltaics and energy storage devices. In this work, we present a comprehensive theoretical study of sodium molybdenum selenide (Na<sub>2</sub>MoSe<sub>4</sub>). First-principles computations were performed on a set of hypothetical crystal structures to determine the ground state and electronic properties of Na<sub>2</sub>MoSe<sub>4</sub>. We find that the equilibrium structure of Na<sub>2</sub>MoSe<sub>4</sub> is a simple orthorhombic (<i>oP</i>) lattice, with space group Pnma, as evidenced by thermodynamics. Electronic structure computations reveal that three phases are semiconducting, while one (<i>cF</i>) is metallic. Relativistic effects and Coulomb interaction of localized electrons were assessed for the <i>oP</i> phase, and found to have a negligible influence on the band strucutre. Finally, meta-GGA computations were performed to model the band structure of primitive orthorhombic Na<sub>2</sub>MoSe<sub>4</sub> at a predictive level. We employ the Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson potential to demonstrate that <i>oP</i> Na2MoSe4 is a semiconductor with a direct bandgap of 0.53 eV at the <b>Γ</b> point. Our results provide a foundation for future studies concerned with the modeling of inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic materials chemically analogous to Na<sub>2</sub>MoSe<sub>4</sub>.<br>
