Title: Materials Data on U by Materials Project

Abstract

U is beta Uranium structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U is bonded to twelve U atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing UU12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of U–U bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.27 Å. In the second U site, U is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight U atoms. There are two shorter (2.70 Å) and four longer (3.31 Å) U–U bond lengths. In the third U site, U is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to fourteen U atoms. There are a spread of U–U bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.55 Å. In the fourth U site, U is bonded to twelve U atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing UU12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of U–U bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.10 Å. In the fifth U site, U is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to ten U atoms. The U–U bond length is 2.55 Å.
