GaMo4Se8 (I) and AlMo4S8 (II) transform at T1 = 45(2) K and 24(2) K, respectively, from a cubic high-temperature modification with ordered defect spinel structure (space group F43mBAR, a = 10.1747(2) angstrom (I), 9.7289(2) angstrom (II) at 300 K) to a rhombohedrally distorted low-temperature modification (R3m, a(rh) = 7.1537(3) angstrom, 6.8500(3) angstrom (II), alpha(rh) = 60.572(5)-degrees, 60.374(5)-degrees (II) at 10 K). Structure parameters for both modifications are refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder data recorded at T = 300 K (I, II), 60 K (I), 50 K (II) and 10 K (I, II) on a Guinier diffractometer. In the cubic modification the tetrahedral Mo4 clusters have 43mBAR symmetry and intracluster bond lengths of [Mo-Mo] = 2.881(2) angstrom (I), 2.829(2) angstrom (II). During the phase transition their symmetry is reduced to 3m as they expand each by about 0.05 angstrom at one of their triangular bases.
