Abstract
Two polymorphs of Cs(2)(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3) have been synthesized by hydrothermal (alpha-phase) and high-temperature (beta-phase) routes. Both were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: alpha-Cs(2)(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3), orthorhombic, Pna2(1), a = 20.4302(15) A, b = 8.5552(7) A, c = 9.8549(7) A, Z = 4; beta-Cs(2)(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3), tetragonal, P4(2)/n, a = 10.1367(8) A, c = 16.2831(17) A, Z = 4. The structures of both phases consist of linked UO(7) pentagonal bipyramids and MoO(4) tetrahedra: alpha-Cs(2)(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3) is a framework compound with large channels parallel to the c axis. Two cesium sites are located in these channels and are coordinated by 8 and 10 oxygen atoms. The structure of beta-Cs(2)(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3) contains corrugated [(UO(2))(2)(MoO(4))(3)] sheets that are parallel to (001). The cesium cations are located between the sheets and are coordinated by eight oxygen atoms. The structures are topologically related; both can be described in terms of chains of 5-connected UO(7) pentagonal bipyramids and 3- and 4-connected MoO(4) tetrahedra.Keywords
