The Metallic Compound Sr0.44La0.56Mo5O8
Résumé
Strontium lanthanum pentamolybdenum octaoxide, Sr0.44La0.56Mo5O8, belongs to the AMo5O8 structure type (A = Ca, Sr, Sn, Pb, Eu, La to Gd). Its crystal structure consists of bioctahedral Mo10O18 cluster units interconnected through Mo-Mo bonds of 2.7322 (7) Å to form infinite molybdenum oxide chains. These are linked by corner O atoms to create four-sided channels along [100], in which the La3+ and Sr2+ cations are statistically distributed over one unique position
