Materials Data on TeMo6 by Materials Project
TeMo6 is Parent of FeAs superconductors-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Mo and two equivalent Te atoms. There are a spread of Mo–Mo bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.13 Å. There are one shorter (2.80 Å) and one longer (3.11 Å) Mo–Te bond lengths. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded to twelve Mo atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing MoMo12 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and two longer (2.68 Å) Mo–Mo bond lengths. Te is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mo atoms.
