Materials Data on SrU2O6 by Materials Project
SrU2O6 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. All Sr–O bond lengths are 2.49 Å. U5+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.34 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Sr2+ and three equivalent U5+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSrU3 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+ and two equivalent U5+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSr2U2 tetrahedra.
