Materials Data on ZnMo(NO2)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

ZnMoO8(N2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules, two MoO8 clusters, and two zinc dust molecules. In each MoO8 cluster, Mo6+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal bipyramidal geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (1.99 Å) and four longer (2.02 Å) Mo–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Mo6+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.42 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Mo6+ and one O2- atom.
