The reactions of UO{sub 3} and TeO{sub 3} with KCl, RbCl, or CsCl at 800{sup o}C for 5d yield single crystals of A{sub 2}[(UO{sub 2}){sub 3}(TeO{sub 3}){sub 2}O{sub 2}] (A=K (1), Rb (2), and Cs (3)). These compounds are isostructural with one another, and their structures consist of two-dimensional {sub {infinity}}{sup 2}[(UO2)3(TeO3)2O2]2- sheets arranged in a stair-like topology separated by alkali metal cations. These sheets are comprised of zigzagging uranium(VI) oxide chains bridged by corner-sharing trigonal pyramidal TeO{sub 3}{sup 2-} anions. The chains are composed of dimeric, edge-sharing, pentagonal bipyramidal UO{sub 7} moieties joined by edge-sharing tetragonal bipyramidal UO{sub 6} units. The lone-pair of electrons from the TeO{sub 3} groups are oriented in opposite directions with respect to one another on each side of the sheets rendering each individual sheet non-polar. The alkali metal cations form contacts with nearby tellurite oxygen atoms as well as with oxygen atoms from the uranyl moieties.
