Materials Data on Re24Mo5 by Materials Project
Mo5Re24 is alpha-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mo and fifteen Re atoms. The Mo–Mo bond length is 3.00 Å. There are a spread of Mo–Re bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.25 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mo and twelve equivalent Re atoms. All Mo–Re bond lengths are 3.01 Å. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo and eleven Re atoms. There are a spread of Re–Re bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.91 Å. In the second Re site, Re is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Mo and eight Re atoms. There are one shorter (2.48 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Re–Re bond lengths.
