MoO2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Mo(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and four longer (2.05 Å) Mo(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) atoms.
