Mg(MoO2)4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure consists of one 7439-95-4 atom inside a MoO2 framework. In the MoO2 framework, there are four inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(7), two equivalent O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-53°. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded to one O(4), one O(8), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(6) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-53°. In the third Mo site, Mo(3) is bonded to one O(1), one O(6), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(8) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra.
