Materials Data on Te3MoWS by Materials Project

Abstract

WTe2(MoTe2)2WS2 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; one WS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and one WTe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each MoTe2 sheet, Mo6+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Te bond lengths are 2.72 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the WS2 sheet, W2+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WS6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms. In the WTe2 sheet, W2+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Te bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms.
