Materials Data on Mo(NO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MoO2(NO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MoO2(NO3)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mo6+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MoO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–2.24 Å. There are two inequivalent N5+ sites. In the first N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.32 Å. In the second N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.32 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N5+ atom. 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 distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mo6+ and one N5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mo6+ and one N5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mo6+ and one N5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mo6+ and one N5+ atom.
