Materials Data on ThURe4 by Materials Project
Abstract
UThRe4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U, one Th, and twelve Re atoms. All U–U bond lengths are 3.33 Å. The U–Th bond length is 3.30 Å. There are a spread of U–Re bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.20 Å. Th is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one U, three equivalent Th, and twelve Re atoms. There are one shorter (3.36 Å) and two longer (3.37 Å) Th–Th bond lengths. There are a spread of Th–Re bond distances ranging from 3.19–3.24 Å. There are four inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re is bonded to six equivalent Th and six Re atoms to form ReTh6Re6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve ReTh3U3Re6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ReTh6Re6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty ReU6Re6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.77 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Re–Re bond lengths. In the second Re site, Re is bonded to six equivalent U and six Re atoms to form ReU6Re6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve ReTh3U3Re6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ReU6Re6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twenty ReTh6Re6more »
