Materials Data on Ce10US16 by Materials Project

UCe10S16 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded to eight S atoms to form distorted US8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (2.81 Å) and four longer (2.96 Å) U–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded to eight S atoms to form distorted CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one US8 hexagonal bipyramid, corners with six CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids, a faceface with one US8 hexagonal bipyramid, and faces with six CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ce–S bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.12 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded to eight S atoms to form distorted CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent US8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids.
