Abstract
USm2Te5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent U4+ sites. In the first U4+ site, U4+ is bonded to seven Te2- atoms to form distorted UTe7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent UTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent UTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent UTe7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are six shorter (3.20 Å) and one longer (3.29 Å) U–Te bond lengths. In the second U4+ site, U4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Te2- atoms. There are a spread of U–Te bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.25 Å. There are four inequivalent Sm3+ sites. In the first Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Te2- atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Te bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.29 Å. In the second Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded to seven Te2- atoms to form distorted SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent UTe7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent SmTe7 pentagonal bipyramids.
