Materials Data on U3(SiNi)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
U3Ni4Si4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent U3+ sites. In the first U3+ site, U3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All U–Si bond lengths are 2.99 Å. In the second U3+ site, U3+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form distorted USi6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent USi6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with eight equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent USi6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, and faces with two equivalent USi6 pentagonal pyramids. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and four longer (2.99 Å) U–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ni+1.75+ sites. In the first Ni+1.75+ site, Ni+1.75+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form NiSi4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight equivalent USi6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent USi6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with four equivalent NiSi4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and two longer (2.33 Å) Ni–Si bond lengths. In the second Ni+1.75+ site, Ni+1.75+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Si4- atoms. There are two shorter (2.28more »
