Caesium zirconium uranium pentatelluride, CsZrUTe₅

J.-Y. Kim, D. L. Gray and J. A. Ibers

Abstract: CsZrUTe₅ is isostructural with CsTiUTe₅. In the asymmetric unit, the site symmetries of the Cs, U, Zr, Te1, Te2 and Te3 atoms are mm2, mm2, .2/m., m.., .2. and mm2, respectively. CsZrUTe₅ has a layered structure that contains UTe₈ bicapped trigonal prisms sharing a common edge with ZrTe₆ octahedra. Cs cations separate the layers. The structure contains an infinite linear Te-Te chain, with Te atoms separated by 3.1551 (4) Å.
