Materials Data on Mo6H2N2Cl14O by Materials Project
(Mo3NCl7)2H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four water molecules and one Mo3NCl7 framework. In the Mo3NCl7 framework, there are three inequivalent Mo+3.33+ sites. In the first Mo+3.33+ site, Mo+3.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.62 Å. In the second Mo+3.33+ site, Mo+3.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoCl5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.56 Å. In the third Mo+3.33+ site, Mo+3.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl1- atoms. All N–Cl bond lengths are 3.54 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.33 Å) and two longer (3.35 Å) N–Cl bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo+3.33+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo+3.33+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo+3.33+ atoms. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo+3.33+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo+3.33+ atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo+3.33+ and one N3- atom. In the seventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo+3.33+ and three N3- atoms.
