Materials Data on Eu(Mo3Se4)2 by Materials Project

EuMo6Se8 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Eu2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Se2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and six longer (3.19 Å) Eu–Se bond lengths. Mo+2.33+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Eu2+ and three equivalent Mo+2.33+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Eu2+ and four equivalent Mo+2.33+ atoms.
