Rb4Mo21Se24 containing Mo12 and Mo15 clusters.
Rubidium molybdenum selenide, Rb(4)Mo(21)Se(24), crystallizes in the trigonal space group R-3. Its crystal structure consists of a mixture of Mo(12)Se(14)Se(6) and Mo(15)Se(17)Se(6) cluster units in a 1:2 ratio. Both units are interconnected through Mo-Se bonds. The Rb(+) cations occupy large voids between the different cluster units.
