Abstract

Mo3O10N2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules and two Mo3O10 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In each Mo3O10 ribbon, there are two 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 1.74–2.29 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 1.75–2.35 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Mo6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo6+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo6+ atoms.
