Black hexagonal plates of Cs2UPd3Se6 were synthesized by the combination of U (0.063 mmol), Pd (Johnson Matthey 99.94%, 0.063 mmol), Se (Cerac 99.999%, 0.253 mmol), and 125 mg CsCl (Aldrich 99.9%, 0.743 mmol) as a flux. U filings (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) were powdered by hydridization and subsequent decomposition under heat and vacuum (Bugaris & Ibers, 2008), in a modification of a previous literature method (Haneveld & Jellinek, 1969). The mixture was loaded into a carbon-coated fused-silica tube in an Ar filled glove box and then sealed under 10 -4 Torr vacuum. The reaction was heated to 1273 K in 48 h, held there for 6 h, cooled to 1223 K in 12 h, held there for 24 h, then cooled to 298 K at 3.2 K/h.
The structure was standardized by means of the program STRUCTURE TIDY (Gelato & Parthé, 1987). The highest peak in the difference Fourier map of 1.3 (3) e/Å3 is 1.24 Å from atom U1 and the deepest hole of -2.2 (3) e/Å3 is 0.84Å from atom U1. The program ADDSYM (Le Page, 1988) was used to confirm that no symmetry was missed.

As part of continuing efforts to synthesize new uranium chalcogenide compounds, Cs2UPd3Se6 was synthesized. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fmmm in the Ba2NaCu3O6 structure type (Tams & Müller-Buschbaum, 1992). The asymmetric unit comprises the following atoms with site symmetries as shown: U1 (mm2); Cs1 (222); Cs2 (m2m); Pd1 (.m.); Pd2 (2mm); Se1 (m..); and Se2 (1) (Fig. 1). This layered structure (Fig. 2) contains six edge-sharing square-planar [PdSe4] units that form a hexagon. These, in turn, edge-share with [USe6] trigonal-prism units to form an extended layer parallel to (010). The layers are stacked along [010] and are separated by Cs atoms. The Cs atoms are either coordinated in a square antiprism of Se atoms or are ten-coordinate, with one square face and the opposite face hexagonal (Fig. 3).
The shortest Se–Se distance is 3.3344 (9) Å, far longer than a single bond. Thus, formal oxidation states may be assigned as follows: Cs: +1; U: +4; Pd: +2; Se: -2. Pd2+ typically has a square-planar coordination. In contrast, trigonal-prismatic coordination is unusual for U4+, though it is known, for example in Ba4Cr2US9 (Yao & Ibers, 2008).
U–Se distances are 2.8353 (5) Å and 2.8704 (7) Å, similar to those in other compounds containing six-coordinate U4+ atoms, such as in CsUCuSe3 (Huang et al., 2001), where the U–Se distances range from 2.8265 (6) Å to 2.8611 (8) Å. Pd–Se distances are typical for square-planar Pd2+ atoms, ranging from 2.4516 (5) Å to 2.4736 (6) Å, similar to those of 2.453 (6) Å to 2.456 (7) Å in Cs2Pd3Se4 (Bronger et al., 1991) and those of 2.476 (1) Å and 2.479 (1) Å found in UPdSe3 (Daoudi & Noël, 1989). The Cs1–Se distances, which are 3.4653 (5) Å and 3.4682 (5) Å, are shorter than are typical for eight-coordinate Cs. Typical are those in CsUCuSe3 which range from 3.5825 (16) Å to 3.8246 (11) Å. On the other hand, the ten-coordinate Cs2—Se distances are typical. They range from 3.7847 (7) Å to 3.9511 (7) Å, to be compared to 3.660 (3) Å to 3.961 (7) Å in CsFe2Se3 (Klepp et al., 1996).
