K₂Mo₁₅S₁₉: a novel ternary reduced molybdenum sulfide containing Mo₆ and Mo₉ clusters

S. Picard, P. Gougeon and M. Potel

Abstract: K₂Mo₁₅S₁₉ (potassium molybdenum sulfide) crystallizes in the trigonal space group Rc and belongs to the In₂Mo₁₅Se₁₉ structure type. Its crystal structure consists of an equal mixture of Mo₆S₈ and Mo₉S₁₁ cluster units interconnected through Mo-S bonds. The K⁺ cations occupy large voids between the different cluster units.
