Materials Data on U6Al43W4 by Materials Project
Abstract
U6W4Al43 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm 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 one U, one W, and fifteen Al atoms. The U–U bond length is 3.16 Å. The U–W bond length is 3.62 Å. There are a spread of U–Al bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.47 Å. In the second U site, U is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one U, one W, and fifteen Al atoms. The U–U bond length is 3.17 Å. The U–W bond length is 3.61 Å. There are a spread of U–Al bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.48 Å. There are three inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent U and ten Al atoms. There are a spread of W–Al bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.72 Å. In the second W site, W is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to two equivalent U and ten Al atoms. There are a spread of W–Al bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.72 Å. In the third W site, W is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve Al atoms.more »
