Materials Data on NaMo6Cl13 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaMo6Cl13 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.46 Å. There are six inequivalent Mo2+ sites. In the first Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.60 Å. In the second Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.50 Å. In the third Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.50 Å. In the fourth Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.50 Å. In the fifth Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.50 Å. In the sixth Mo2+ site, Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.60 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one Mo2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one Mo2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one Mo2+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+ and two Mo2+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the seventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and three Mo2+ atoms. In the eighth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the ninth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the tenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the eleventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the twelfth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo2+ atoms. In the thirteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one Mo2+ atom.
