Pu3O2 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Pu(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing OPu6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-50°.
Pu3O2 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Pu(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Pu(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing OPu6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-50°.
