C. Thomas et al., NEW REDUCED MOLYBDENUM TELLURIDES (RB,CS)(N-2)MO3NTE3N-3N CLUSTERS(2 (N = 4, 5, 6, 8) CONTAINING CONDENSED MO), Journal of alloys and compounds, 262, 1997, pp. 305-310
The syntheses, crystal growths and crystal structures of the (Rb,Cs)(n
-2)Mo3nTe3n+2 (rt = 4, 5, 6, 8) compounds are reported. They crystalli
ze in the space group R-3 for even n and in P6(3)/m for odd n. The Mo-
Mo distances within the different Mo-3n clusters observed in the tellu
rides and the analogous sulfides and selenides synthesized previously
are compared. Single crystal resistivity measurements on Cs2Mo12Te14 s
how a metallic behaviour in the 2-300 K temperature range. (C) 1997 El
