Materials Data on Pr3U(ClO2)3 by Materials Project
UPr3(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U6+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All U–O bond lengths are 2.10 Å. Pr3+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.69 Å. There are a spread of Pr–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.12 Å. O2- is bonded to one U6+, three equivalent Pr3+, and two equivalent Cl1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OPr3UCl2 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (3.07 Å) and one longer (3.10 Å) O–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pr3+ and four equivalent O2- atoms.
