| Abstract: | New Investigations about Oxo Uranates: On α-Li6UO6. With a Remark about β-Li6UO6 The crystal structure of transparent, bright yellow single crystals of α-Li6UO6 has been determined. [a = 838.07(5), c = 738.34(7) pm; dpyk = 4.02, dx = 4.17 g · cm?3; space group R3 ; Z = 3; R = 3.17%, Rw = 3.06%; 408 symmetry independent I0(hkl); AgKα fourcircle diffractometer Philips PW 1100]. The structure is dominated by a threedimensional framwork of “hollow spaces”, built up by 12 O2? (and 12 Li+). The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, is calculated and discussed. |
