Materials Data on UGeO4 by Materials Project

UGeO4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.34 Å) and four longer (2.40 Å) U–O bond lengths. Ge4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Ge–O bond lengths are 1.80 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent U4+ and one Ge4+ atom.

Materials Data on U2GeO10 by Materials Project

U2GeO10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded to seven O atoms to form distorted UO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent UO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one GeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.81–2.55 Å. Ge is bonded to four equivalent O atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent UO7 pentagonal bipyramids and edges with two equivalent UO7 pentagonal bipyramids. All Ge–O bond lengths are 1.77 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U and one Ge atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U atom.
