(WTe2)2WSe2MoSe2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one MoSe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; one WSe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction; and two WTe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the MoSe2 sheet, Mo6+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing MoSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All Mo–Se bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo6+ atoms. In the WSe2 sheet, W+3.33+ is bonded to six equivalent Se2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WSe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Se bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W+3.33+ atoms. In each WTe2 sheet, W+3.33+ is bonded to six Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WTe6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–Te bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W+3.33+ atoms. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W+3.33+ atoms.
