Materials Data on U2(SiGe)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
U2(GeSi)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U3+ is bonded to six Si4- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing USi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–88°. There are a spread of U–Si bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.93 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge2+ sites. In the first Ge2+ site, Ge2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Ge–Si bond distances ranging from 2.87–2.94 Å. In the second Ge2+ site, Ge2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Si4- atoms. All Ge–Si bond lengths are 2.92 Å. There are three inequivalent Si4- sites. In the first Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U3+ and four equivalent Ge2+ atoms. In the second Si4- site, Si4- is bonded to four equivalent U3+ and eight Ge2+ atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing SiU4Ge8 cuboctahedra. In the third Si4- site, Si4- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U3+ and four equivalent Ge2+ atoms.
