Materials Data on MoS2 by Materials Project

MoS2 is Molybdenite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two MoS2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mo4+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.42 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo4+ atoms.
