U2S5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. U(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(3), four equivalent S(1), and four equivalent S(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SU4 tetrahedra. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1) and one S(2) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SU4 trigonal pyramids.
U2S5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. U(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(3), four equivalent S(1), and four equivalent S(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.83 Å) and one longer (2.88 Å) U(1)-S(3) bond length. There are a spread of U(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.80-2.88 Å. There are a spread of U(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 2.87-3.11 Å. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SU4 tetrahedra. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1) and one S(2) atom. The S(2)-S(2) bond length is 2.13 Å. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SU4 trigonal pyramids.
