Materials Data on MoH4O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

MoH4O5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo6+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–2.40 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.04 Å) and one longer (1.46 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.04 Å) and one longer (1.45 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.03 Å) and one longer (1.59 Å) H–O bond length. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.03 Å) and one longer (1.56 Å) H–O bond length. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four H1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four H1+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo6+ and two H1+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo6+ and two H1+ atoms.
