Materials Data on SiMo3 by Materials Project
Mo3Si crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo and four equivalent Si atoms. Both Mo–Mo bond lengths are 2.46 Å. All Mo–Si bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Si is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiMo12 cuboctahedra.
