Materials Data on Np(SeO3)2 by Materials Project
Np(SeO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Np4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Np–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.58 Å. There are two inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.75 Å. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–1.77 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Np4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Np4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Np4+ and one Se4+ atom.
