The Materials Project

Mo3CuCl7 crystallizes in the cubic Pn-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo2+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.50 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.26 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo2+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mo2+ and one Cu1+ atom.
