Materials Data on Ge3Mo5 by Materials Project

Mo5Ge3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six Ge atoms. There are a spread of Mo–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.85 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo and four equivalent Ge atoms. Both Mo–Mo bond lengths are 2.50 Å. All Mo–Ge bond lengths are 2.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to eight equivalent Mo and two equivalent Ge atoms. Both Ge–Ge bond lengths are 2.50 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Mo atoms.
