Materials Data on UBCO5 by Materials Project
UO3CBO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four metaboric acid molecules, four methane molecules, and four UO3 clusters. In each UO3 cluster, U3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.83 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) U–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U3+ atom.
