MoTe2(WSe2)2MoS2 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; one MoTe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and two WSe2 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 2.45 Å. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the MoTe2 sheet, Mo6+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Te bond lengths are 2.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In each WSe2 sheet, W2+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Se bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W2+ atoms.
