Brief Introdlybduction to Molybdenum Disulfide , 2013 - II

In MoS2, each Mo(IV) center occupies a trigonal prismatic coordination sphere, being bound to six sulfide ligands. Each sulfur centre is pyramidal, being connected to three Mo centres. In this way, the trigonal prisms are interconnected to give a layered structure, wherein molybdenum atoms are sandwiched between layers of sulfur atoms.]Because of the weak van der Waals interactions between the sheets of sulfide atoms,

MoS2 has a low coefficient of friction, resulting in its lubricating properties. Other layered inorganic materials exhibit lubricating properties (collectively known as solid lubricants (or dry lubricants)) including graphite, which requires volatile additives, and hexagonal boron nitride.

Bulk MoS2 is diamagnetic, indirect bandgap semiconductor similar to silicon, with a gap of 1.2 eV. Because of its anisotropic structure, it exhibits anisotropic conductivity. It has been often investigated as a component of photoelectrochemical (e.g. for photocatalytic hydrogen production) applications and more recently for microelectronics applications.Single layers have proven to have properties differing from the bulk, including a direct 1.8 eV electronic bandgap.

Nanotubes and buckyball-like molecules composed of MoS2 have been prepared and shown to exhibit unusual tribology and electronic properties.
