(WTe2)3MoS2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one MoS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and three WTe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the MoS2 sheet, Mo6+ is bonded to six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoS6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In each WTe2 sheet, W+3.33+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Te bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W+3.33+ atoms.
