Materials Data on KIn(MoO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

KIn(MoO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eleven O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.38 Å. There are two inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent InO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–36°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.83 Å. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent InO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–47°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.83 Å. In3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form InO6 octahedra that share corners with six MoO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of In–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.20 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo6+ and one In3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Mo6+, and one In3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Mo6+, and one In3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Mo6+, and one In3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one Mo6+ atom.
