Materials Data on Eu(Mo3S4)2 by Materials Project

EuMo6S8 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and six longer (3.11 Å) Eu–S bond lengths. Mo+2.33+ is bonded to five S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MoS5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–S bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Eu2+ and three equivalent Mo+2.33+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Eu2+ and four equivalent Mo+2.33+ atoms.
