Mo2 I6

Mo₂I₆ is a layered transition metal halide semiconductor composed of molybdenum and iodine, belonging to the family of two-dimensional materials and van der Waals crystals. This compound is primarily investigated in materials research for optoelectronic and electronic applications, particularly where tunable bandgap and layer-dependent properties are advantageous; it represents an emerging alternative to graphene and traditional TMD (transition metal dichalcogenide) semiconductors for next-generation devices, though it remains largely in the experimental and prototype phase rather than widespread industrial production.
