Materials Data on UO4 by Materials Project
UO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one UO4 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. U is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.13 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent U atoms.
