Abstract

Rb4Mo5(PO11)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.52 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.58 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.44 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.41 Å. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–2.34 Å. In the third Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.50 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.62 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+ and two Mo6+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+, one Mo6+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Mo6+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb1+, two Mo6+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+ and two Mo6+ atoms. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom.
