The Materials Project

MoO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3cm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MoO3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mo6+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing MoO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.08 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo6+ atom.
