UGeS is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent S(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to five equivalent U(1) atoms to form distorted GeU5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form SU4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ge(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 five equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent S(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.85 Å) and four longer (3.08 Å) U(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. All U(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to five equivalent U(1) atoms to form distorted GeU5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with twelve equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, and edges with eight equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) atoms to form SU4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent S(1)U4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent Ge(1)U5 trigonal bipyramids.
