SmMoO4Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), four equivalent O(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sm(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sm(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sm(1) and one Mo(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sm(1) atoms.
SmMoO4Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), four equivalent O(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Sm(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.39 Å. The Sm(1)-O(3) bond length is 2.39 Å. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Sm(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There is one shorter (2.78 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Sm(1)-Cl(1) bond length. Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms.
