La2MoO6 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLa4 tetrahedra.
La2MoO6 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. La(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.43 Å) La(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) La(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O(2) atoms. All Mo(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.81 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent La(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLa4 tetrahedra.
