Materials Data on Ag(TeMo)6 by Materials Project
AgMo6Te6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one AgMo6Te6 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Mo and four Te atoms. There are a spread of Mo–Mo bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.78 Å. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.90 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six Mo, one Ag, and four Te atoms. There are one shorter (2.66 Å) and two longer (2.78 Å) Mo–Mo bond lengths. The Mo–Ag bond length is 3.26 Å. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.89 Å. In the third Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Mo and four Te atoms. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.80–2.87 Å. Ag is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo and six Te atoms. There are two shorter (2.90 Å) and four longer (3.13 Å) Ag–Te bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Mo atoms. In the second Te site, Te is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to four Mo and two equivalent Ag atoms. In the third Te site, Te is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Mo and one Ag atom.
