Materials Data on Te6Mo2W by Materials Project
WTe2(MoTe2)2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MoTe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one WTe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each MoTe2 sheet, Mo+4.50+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Te bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo+4.50+ atoms. In the WTe2 sheet, W3+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Te bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W3+ atoms.
