Materials Data on Na4NpO5 by Materials Project
Na4NpO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one NpO6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent NaO6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent NpO6 octahedra, and edges with nine equivalent NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–20°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.82 Å. Np6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NpO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NpO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra, and edges with twelve equivalent NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are four shorter (2.02 Å) and two longer (2.32 Å) Np–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Na1+ and two equivalent Np6+ atoms to form corner-sharing ONa4Np2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Na1+ and one Np6+ atom.
