“…Fortunately, the experiments show that M1 has a distinct layered structure along the c axis, with two adjacent layers connected only through coordinate bonds, M=O---M=O motifs (M = Mo, V, Nb and Te). [4] This makes the preparation of the one-layer surface model from the crystal structure unambiguous by breaking only the longer M---O coordinate bond, while keeping shorter M=O intact. The surface is arranged in such a way that oxygen of the M=O bonds in sites S2, S5, S6, S8, S10, and S11 point toward the same direction as that of Te=O at S12, while those of M=O in sites S1, S3, S4, S7, and S9 point toward the opposite direction.…”
