Materials Data on ZnMo2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

ZnMo2O5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Mo2O5 sheet oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction and two zinc molecules. In the Mo2O5 sheet, there are two inequivalent Mo4+ sites. In the first Mo4+ site, Mo4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–2.07 Å. In the second Mo4+ site, Mo4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–2.07 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Mo4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo4+ atom.
