MoSi2 is Protactinium-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mo(1) and five equivalent Si(1) atoms.
MoSi2 is Protactinium-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are eight shorter (2.61 Å) and two longer (2.62 Å) Mo(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Si(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mo(1) and five equivalent Si(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.63 Å) Si(1)-Si(1) bond lengths.
