Materials Data on UHg4(AsCl3)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
UHg4(AsCl3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U4+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form UCl6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent HgAs2Cl4 octahedra and an edgeedge with one HgAs2Cl4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–58°. There are a spread of U–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.62 Å. There are four inequivalent Hg2+ sites. In the first Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to two As3- and four Cl1- atoms to form distorted HgAs2Cl4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent UCl6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one UCl6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one HgAs2Cl4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–58°. Both Hg–As bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are a spread of Hg–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.50 Å. In the second Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two As3- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Hg–As bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are one shorter (3.17 Å) and one longer (3.39 Å) Hg–Cl bond lengths. In the third Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two As3- and two Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.57 Å) and one longermore »

In the second Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two As3- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Hg–As bond lengths are 2.58 Å. There are one shorter (3.17 Å) and one longer (3.39 Å) Hg–Cl bond lengths. In the third Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two As3- and two Cl1- atoms.

In the fourth Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two As3- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Hg–As bond lengths are 2.56 Å. There are one shorter (3.40 Å) and one longer (3.50 Å) Hg–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent As3- sites.

There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one U4+ and two equivalent Hg2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one U4+ and one Hg2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one U4+ and one Hg2+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one U4+ and two Hg2+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one U4+ and two Hg2+ atoms.
