Materials Data on U2Al3Cu7 by Materials Project
Abstract
U2Cu7Al3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to twelve Cu atoms. There are a spread of U–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.31 Å. There are five inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U, three Cu, and four Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Cu–Cu bond lengths. All Cu–Al bond lengths are 2.57 Å. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U, seven Cu, and two equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Cu–Cu bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.94 Å. Both Cu–Al bond lengths are 2.53 Å. In the third Cu site, Cu is bonded to four equivalent U, six Cu, and two equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CuU4Al2Cu6 cuboctahedra. Both Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Both Cu–Al bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the fourth Cu site, Cu is bonded to four equivalent U, four equivalent Cu, and four Al atoms to form distorted CuU4Al4Cu4 cuboctahedra that share corners with fourmore »
