Materials Data on UGeAu by Materials Project
UAuGe crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and six equivalent Ge atoms. All U–Au bond lengths are 3.04 Å. All U–Ge bond lengths are 3.33 Å. In the second U site, U is bonded to six equivalent Au and six equivalent Ge atoms to form face-sharing UGe6Au6 cuboctahedra. All U–Au bond lengths are 3.36 Å. All U–Ge bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Au is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six U and three equivalent Ge atoms. All Au–Ge bond lengths are 2.62 Å. Ge is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six U and three equivalent Au atoms.
