Abstract: | The reactions of UO3 and TeO3 with KCl, RbCl, or CsCl at 800 °C for 5 d yield single crystals of A2[(UO2)3(TeO3)2O2] (A=K (1), Rb (2), and Cs (3)). These compounds are isostructural with one another, and their structures consist of two-dimensional sheets arranged in a stair-like topology separated by alkali metal cations. These sheets are comprised of zigzagging uranium(VI) oxide chains bridged by corner-sharing trigonal pyramidal TeO32− anions. The chains are composed of dimeric, edge-sharing, pentagonal bipyramidal UO7 moieties joined by edge-sharing tetragonal bipyramidal UO6 units. The lone-pair of electrons from the TeO3 groups are oriented in opposite directions with respect to one another on each side of the sheets rendering each individual sheet non-polar. The alkali metal cations form contacts with nearby tellurite oxygen atoms as well as with oxygen atoms from the uranyl moieties.
