Abstract

The approach of the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) technique to study the structure of materials with significant disorder is considered and successfully applied to LiMoS₂ and mesostructured MnGe₄S₁₀. We find that LiMoS₂ is built of layers of distorted MoS₆ octahedra stacked along the c axis of a triclinic unit cell with well-defined Mo-Mo bonding. Mesostructured MnGe₄S₁₀ is a three-dimensional framework of "adamantane-like" [Ge₄S₁₀] units bridged by Mn atoms.
