Materials Data on UNb6O16 by Materials Project
Abstract
UNb6O16 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted UO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NbO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NbO6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–64°. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.41 Å. There are three inequivalent Nb+4.67+ sites. In the first Nb+4.67+ site, Nb+4.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent UO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NbO6 pentagonal pyramid, an edgeedge with one NbO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent NbO6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–64°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.34 Å. In the second Nb+4.67+ site, Nb+4.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NbO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent UO6 octahedra, corners with four NbO6 pentagonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 58–67°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances rangingmore »
