The Materials Project

WS2(MoS2)2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MoS2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one WS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each MoS2 sheet, Mo+4.50+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.42 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo+4.50+ atoms. In the WS2 sheet, W3+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WS6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–S bond lengths are 2.42 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W3+ atoms.
