Materials Data on Te4Mo3S2 by Materials Project
(MoTe2)2MoS2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one MoS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and two MoTe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the MoS2 sheet, Mo4+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.48 Å. S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms. In each MoTe2 sheet, Mo4+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoTe6 pentagonal pyramids. There are three shorter (2.71 Å) and three longer (2.72 Å) Mo–Te bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms.
