Materials Data on U6Al8(FeSi)5 by Materials Project
Abstract
U6Al8(FeSi)5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Al and four equivalent Si atoms. There are two shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (2.95 Å) U–Al bond lengths. All U–Si bond lengths are 2.91 Å. In the second U site, U is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Fe, six Al, and three Si atoms. The U–Fe bond length is 2.13 Å. There are a spread of U–Al bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.12 Å. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.12 Å) U–Si bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Al and four equivalent Si atoms. All Fe–Al bond lengths are 2.71 Å. All Fe–Si bond lengths are 2.40 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one U, one Al, and one Si atom. The Fe–Al bond length is 2.47 Å. The Fe–Si bond length is 2.37 Å. There are four inequivalent Al sites. In the first Almore »

There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four U, two Fe, and three Al atoms. In the second Si site, Si is bonded to four equivalent U and eight Al atoms to form face-sharing SiU4Al8 cuboctahedra.},
