Materials Data on KUP(H2O3)3 by Materials Project
KUP(H2O3)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one H1+ and six O2- atoms. The K–H bond length is 2.81 Å. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.26 Å. U6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form UO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.33 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–39°. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one K1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å.
