The Materials Project

UO3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U6+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.08 Å) and six longer (2.25 Å) U–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent U6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U6+ atoms.
