Materials Data on U3Bi4 by Materials Project
U3Bi4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded to eight equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing UBi8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (3.20 Å) and four longer (3.28 Å) U–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to six equivalent U atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing BiU6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–51°.
