“…The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) Ni-Mo and Co-Mo distances 56,57 are, respectively, 2.85 and 2.80 Å, and our Ni e,IV -Mo i,VI and Co e,IV -Mo i,VI computed distances are 2.76 and 2.79 Å, respectively, in good agreement with experimental data. The Ni c,IV -Mo i,VI , Co c,IV -Mo i,VI , Ni c,IV -Mo i,VI and Co c,IV -Mo i,VI distances also agree favorably with experiment.…”
