Materials Data on UMo5O16 by Materials Project
UMo5O16 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U6+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form corner-sharing UO8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.46 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo+5.20+ sites. In the first Mo+5.20+ site, Mo+5.20+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.39 Å. In the second Mo+5.20+ site, Mo+5.20+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.38 Å. In the third Mo+5.20+ site, Mo+5.20+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–2.38 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U6+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one U6+ and two Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one U6+ and two Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Mo+5.20+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one U6+ and two Mo+5.20+ atoms.
