Materials Data on U(MnSi)2 by Materials Project

UMn2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U4+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Si4- atoms. All U–Si bond lengths are 2.98 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing MnSi4 tetrahedra. All Mn–Si bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U4+, four equivalent Mn2+, and one Si4- atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.38 Å.
