Materials Data on K2PuCl6 by Materials Project
K2PuCl6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.50–3.93 Å. Pu4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. All Pu–Cl bond lengths are 2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent K1+ and one Pu4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent K1+ and one Pu4+ atom.
