Materials Data on Zn(MoO2)2 by Materials Project

Zn(MoO2)2 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mo3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form MoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent MoO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.18 Å) and two longer (2.19 Å) Mo–O bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. All Zn–O bond lengths are 2.05 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Mo3+ and one Zn2+ atom.
