Title: Materials Data on UNb6O16 by Materials Project

Abstract

UNb6O16 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form UO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NbO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.24 Å. There are three inequivalent Nb+4.67+ sites. In the first Nb+4.67+ site, Nb+4.67+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.21 Å. In the second Nb+4.67+ site, Nb+4.67+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.19 Å. In the third Nb+4.67+ site, Nb+4.67+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form NbO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–2.03 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one U4+ and two equivalent Nb+4.67+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one U4+ and one Nb+4.67+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2-more » is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Nb+4.67+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb+4.67+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Nb+4.67+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Nb+4.67+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb+4.67+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one U4+ and one Nb+4.67+ atom.« less
