Materials Data on CsTm(MoO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsTm(MoO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pccm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (3.11 Å) and four longer (3.35 Å) Cs–O bond lengths. Tm3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.28 Å) and four longer (2.45 Å) Tm–O bond lengths. Mo6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.87 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Tm3+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cs1+, one Tm3+, and one Mo6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and one Mo6+ atom.
