Materials Data on SrUO4 by Materials Project
SrUO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.82 Å. U6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–50°. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.22 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Sr2+ and two equivalent U6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and two equivalent U6+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and one U6+ atom.
