description: Th(MoO4)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Th4+ sites. In the first Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.39 Å) and six longer (2.48 Å) Th–O bond lengths. In the second Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.74 Å. In the third Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ThO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with seven MoO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.44 Å. In the fourth Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and six longer (2.45 Å) Th–O bond lengths. In the fifth Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are six shorter (2.42 Å) and three longer (2.47 Å) Th–O bond lengths. There are six inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ThO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.82 Å. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.77–1.84 Å. In the third Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ThO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.83 Å. In the fourth Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ThO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.82 Å. In the fifth Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one ThO7 pentagonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.89 Å. In the sixth Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms.
