The discovery of superconductivity in the 122 iron selenide materials above 30 K necessitates an understanding of the underlying magnetic interactions. We present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of magnetic and semiconducting CeOFeSe composed of chains of edge-linked iron selenide tetrahedra. The combined neutron diffraction and inelastic scattering study and density functional calculations confirm the ferromagnetic nature of nearest-neighbour Fe – Se – Fe interactions in the ZrCuSiAs-related iron oxyselenide CeOFeSe. Inelastic measurements provide an estimate of the strength of nearest-neighbor Fe – Fe and Fe – Ce interactions. These are consistent with density functional theory calculations, which reveal that correlations in the Fe–Se sheets of CeOFeSe are weak. The Fe on-site repulsion is comparable to that reported for oxyarsenides and KFeSe, which are parents to iron-based superconductors.
