Figure 1
(a) Reported structure of CaCu₅. (b) Reported structure of BaZn₅. (c) Reported structure of UCu₅. (d) Reported structure of SrZn₅. The corresponding arrangement and bonding of alkaline-earth metals in each structure is shown, and relevant bond distances are highlighted. Note that in the case of the structure of UCu₅, there is no U—U bonding.
