The focus of the article is on the temperature dependencies of the heat capacity up to 1000 ℃ and values of enthalpy of formation, enthalpy, and entropy at 298,15 K, and their comparative analysis with the existing experimental data. The results show good general agreement with the published experimental data sets allowing to use them as arbitration of existing discrepancies. Increasing deviations of the heat capacity above the room temperature suggest that factors not included in the quasi-harmonic approximation, such as vibrational anharmonicity, may have a significant influence on the thermodynamics of 2H-MoSe<sub>2</sub> in this temperature region. Considering the inconclusive high-temperature data from the experiment, the present results may be recommended as a satisfactory approximation until the appearance of more reliable experimental data or calculation results, taking into account more finite-temperature effects.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Physics and Chemistry of Solid State}, author={Vasiliev, O.}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={478–485} }
