The structures of Sr{sub 5}U{sub 3}O{sub 14} and BaSr{sub 4}U{sub 3}O{sub 14} have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and neutron powder diffraction. Both compounds could be indexed on a pseudo-tetragonal, chiolite-type structure. Sr{sub 5}U{sub 3}O{sub 14} was shown to be orthorhombic and to have space group Pbca with a = 11.2416(7) {angstrom}, b = 11.2572(7) {angstrom}, c = 11.0791(4) {angstrom}, and Z = 4. BaSr{sub 4}U{sub 3}O{sub 14} was shown to be orthorhombic and to have space group Cmca with a = 11.3647(7) {angstrom}, b = 11.3770(7) {angstrom}, c = 11.0203(5) {angstrom}, and Z = 4. The thermodynamic properties of Sr{sub 5}U{sub 3}O{sub 14} at 298.15 K have been determined, and its thermal stability with respect to the neighboring strontium uranate phases are discussed.
