MoO2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Mo(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) atoms.
