UGeS is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent S(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted GeU4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with twelve equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded to five equivalent U(1) atoms to form distorted SU5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with eight equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids.
UGeS is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and five equivalent S(1) atoms. All U(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 3.12 Å. There are four shorter (2.81 Å) and one longer (2.93 Å) U(1)-S(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted GeU4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with twelve equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent Ge(1)U4Ge4 hexagonal bipyramids. All Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.72 Å.
