Materials Data on Mo5As4 by Materials Project
Mo5As4 is Titanium telluride structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mo+2.40+ sites. In the first Mo+2.40+ site, Mo+2.40+ is bonded to five equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MoAs5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–As bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.69 Å. In the second Mo+2.40+ site, Mo+2.40+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent As3- atoms. All Mo–As bond lengths are 2.82 Å. As3- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Mo+2.40+ atoms.
