Bi(MoO5)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), two equivalent O(3), two equivalent O(5), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Bi(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mo(1) and one Bi(1) atom.
