Materials Data on Te4Mo2Ru by Materials Project
Mo2RuTe4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mo3+ sites. In the first Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form MoTe5 square pyramids that share corners with two MoTe5 square pyramids, corners with two RuTe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuTe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.87 Å. In the second Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form MoTe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuTe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoTe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuTe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.87 Å. In the third Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form MoTe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuTe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoTe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuTe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.86 Å. In the fourth Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form MoTe5 square pyramids that share corners with two MoTe5 square pyramids, corners with two RuTe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuTe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Te bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru2+ sites. In the first Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form RuTe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuTe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoTe5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one RuTe5 square pyramid, and edges with four MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ru–Te bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.83 Å. In the second Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded to five Te2- atoms to form RuTe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuTe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoTe5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one RuTe5 square pyramid, and edges with four MoTe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ru–Te bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.83 Å. There are eight inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Mo3+ and two Ru2+ atoms. In the third Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the fourth Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the fifth Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the sixth Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Mo3+ and two Ru2+ atoms. In the seventh Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Mo3+ and two Ru2+ atoms. In the eighth Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ atoms.
