Two Original Infinite Chains in the New Caesium Tetramolybdate Compound Cs₂Mo₄O₁₃

The structure of Cs₂Mo₄O₁₃ comprises two different types of infinite [Mo₄O₁₃]_n^2- chain separated by Cs⁺ ions. The first chain is made from blocks of two MoO₆ octahedra sharing a face while the second chain consists of a set of two MoO₆ octahedra, one MoO₅ square pyramid and one MoO₄ tetrahedron sharing edges and corners.
