Materials Data on Np(MoO4)2 by Materials Project
Np(MoO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Np4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Np–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.40 Å. There are two inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–1.82 Å. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.79 Å) and two longer (1.80 Å) Mo–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Mo6+ atom.
