Materials Data on MoSI by Materials Project
MoSI crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo3+ is bonded to three equivalent S2- and three equivalent I1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS3I3 octahedra. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.37 Å. All Mo–I bond lengths are 2.96 Å. S2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo3+ atoms. I1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Mo3+ atoms.
