UPTe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent U(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent U(1) atoms.
UPTe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. All U(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are four shorter (3.18 Å) and one longer (3.56 Å) U(1)-Te(1) bond length. P(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent U(1) atoms. Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent U(1) atoms.
