Materials Data on PuOF by Materials Project

Abstract

PuOF crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O2- and four equivalent F1- atoms. All Pu–O bond lengths are 2.32 Å. All Pu–F bond lengths are 2.59 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Pu3+ atoms to form distorted OPu4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent OPu4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent FPu4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent FPu4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent OPu4 tetrahedra. F1- is bonded to four equivalent Pu3+ atoms to form distorted FPu4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FPu4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent OPu4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent OPu4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent FPu4 tetrahedra.
