Gd2(MoO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(3), one O(4), one O(6), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Gd(1) and one Mo(2) atom. In the second O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Gd(1) and two equivalent Mo(2) atoms. In the third O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Gd(1) and one Mo(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Gd(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Gd(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Gd(1) and one Mo(2) atom.
