Cobalt diselenide

Cobalt diselenide (CoSe2) was a synthetic and natural non-organic molecule. It was quite harmless and could even be used as an energy source for primitive species. Although when inhaled/ingested by Cardassians, the consequences could be fatal.

Chemistry
Cobalt diselenide was simply made of cobalt and two selenium atoms bonded by double bonds. Naturally, Cobalt diselenide formed by high compression in cobalt-selenium deposits or by nuclear fusion in the first few seconds of a supernova. Artifically, Cobalt diselenide forms by fusing cobalt and 2 selenium atoms or caused ionic reactions which eventually form the molecule.

Energy
A detonation of the cobalt, and subsequent electrochemical/nuclear aftershocks upon the selenium atoms or cobalt-selenium bonds could allow for well-powered industries forming and distributing over 2.5 kilowatts. Although none were specifically discovered, the Federation knew of at least half to a full dozen cobalt/cobalt diselenide (or both) based species.
