Materials Data on B3Mo by Materials Project
MoB3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent B1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing MoB12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.34 Å) and six longer (2.35 Å) Mo–B bond lengths. B1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mo3+ and three equivalent B1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.73 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) B–B bond length.
