description: KAgCu3(MoO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted KO6 octahedra that share corners with six MoO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one KO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.92 Å. There are four inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent KO6 octahedra and corners with two CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–65°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.93 Å. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one KO6 octahedra and corners with four CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–75°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.94 Å. In the third Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–60°.
