Crystal structure of the red cesium molybdenum bronze, Cs/sub 0. 33/MoO/sub 3/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The crystal structure of Cs/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ has been determined from single-crystal x-ray diffraction data. Cs/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ crystallizes in space group C2/m with a = 15.862(2) A, b = 7.728(2), A, c = 6.4080(7) A, ..beta.. = 94.37(1)/sup 0/, Z = 12, and R/sub r/ = 0.033 for 1746 reflections with F/sub 0//sup 2/ greater than or equal to 3sigma(F/sub 0//sup 2/). The crystal is isostructural with those of the red molybdenum bronzes K/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ and Tl/sub p.33/MoO/sub 3/, but is significantly different from a crystal of the red cesium bronze Cs/sub 0.25/MoO/sub 3/. A blue powder, obtained by grinding red single crystals of Cs/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/, can be indexed on the basis of the cell parameters reported above.
