LaMoO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. La(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing LaO6 octahedra. Mo(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLa3Mo2 trigonal bipyramids.
LaMoO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. La(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing LaO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and four longer (2.52 Å) La(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Mo(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Mo(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.25 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent La(1) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OLa3Mo2 trigonal bipyramids.
