Mo2O5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MoO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms.
Mo2O5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MoO5 trigonal bipyramids. The Mo(1)-O(3) bond length is 1.90 Å. Both Mo(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.92 Å. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and one longer (2.10 Å) Mo(1)-O(2) bond length. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms.
