Sodium pentafluorouranate(IV) monohydrate, Na[UF₅]·H₂O

A. Fischer and Z. Szabó

Abstract: Na[UF₅]·H₂O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn. It contains a uranium(IV) ion, which is coordinated by nine F^- ions yielding a tricapped trigonal prism. Some of the F^- ions function as bridging ligands coordinating to the Na⁺ ion. The latter is coordinated by four F^- ions. Together with two molecules of water of crystallization, a distorted octahedral coordination around Na⁺ is obtained.
