The Materials Project

UF5 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two UF5 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. U5+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing UF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are four shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.27 Å) U–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U5+ atoms.
