Li2UCl6 is beta Vanadium nitride-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form LiCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent U(1)Cl6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Li(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. U(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form UCl6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Li(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one U(1) atom.
