USnTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form distorted SnU4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Sn(1)U4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with twelve equivalent Te(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Sn(1)U4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Te(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent Sn(1)U4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids. Te(1) is bonded to five equivalent U(1) atoms to form distorted TeU5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent Sn(1)U4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent Te(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Sn(1)U4Sn4 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with eight equivalent Te(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids.
USnTe is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sn(1) and five equivalent Te(1) atoms. All U(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 3.35 Å. There are four shorter (3.16 Å) and one longer (3.33 Å) U(1)-Te(1) bond length.
