Materials Data on Na2U2O7 by Materials Project
Na2U2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.75 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.82 Å. There are two inequivalent U6+ sites. In the first U6+ site, U6+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.50 Å. In the second U6+ site, U6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing UO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.26 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one U6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one U6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Na1+ and one U6+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing ONa3U tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Na1+ and one U6+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing ONa3U tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and three U6+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and three U6+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and three U6+ atoms.
