Materials Data on UAlAu2 by Materials Project
UAu2Al crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Au and one Al atom. There are a spread of U–Au bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.17 Å. The U–Al bond length is 3.08 Å. Au is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U and three equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.79 Å) Au–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one U and six equivalent Au atoms.
