Materials Data on Pa3Br by Materials Project
Pa3Br is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pa sites. In the first Pa site, Pa is bonded to four equivalent Br atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PaBr4 cuboctahedra. All Pa–Br bond lengths are 3.19 Å. In the second Pa site, Pa is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Br atoms. All Pa–Br bond lengths are 3.21 Å. Br is bonded to twelve Pa atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing BrPa12 cuboctahedra.
