Materials Data on V3Si2Mo3 by Materials Project
V3Mo3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo and four equivalent Si atoms. Both V–Mo bond lengths are 2.40 Å. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and two longer (2.70 Å) V–Si bond lengths. Mo is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V and four equivalent Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and two longer (2.73 Å) Mo–Si bond lengths. Si is bonded to six equivalent V and six equivalent Mo atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiV6Mo6 cuboctahedra.
