Gd(MoCo5)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 20-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Co(4), four equivalent Co(1), four equivalent Co(2), and eight equivalent Co(3) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to one Gd(1), one Mo(1), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), four equivalent Co(3), and four equivalent Co(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded to two equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Co(2), two equivalent Co(4), and four equivalent Co(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CoGd2Co8Mo2 cuboctahedra. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(4), and four equivalent Co(3) atoms. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded to two equivalent Gd(1), two equivalent Mo(1), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), two equivalent Co(3), and two equivalent Co(4) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CoGd2Co8Mo2 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Co site, Co(4) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to one Gd(1), four equivalent Mo(1), one Co(4), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Co(3) atoms.
