Materials Data on Te2Mo3W(SeS2)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MoTe2MoSe2WS2MoS2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one MoS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; one MoSe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; one MoTe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and one WS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the MoS2 sheet, Mo+4.67+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.44 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo+4.67+ atoms. In the MoSe2 sheet, Mo+4.67+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Se bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo+4.67+ atoms. In the MoTe2 sheet, Mo+4.67+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Te bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Te2- is bonded to three equivalent Mo+4.67+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing TeMo3 cuboctahedra. In the WS2 sheet, W2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WS6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–S bond lengths are 2.45 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms.
