摘要
The title compound, UCu(0.60(4))Sb(2), crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nmm. The U atom and one independent Sb atom have 4mm site symmetry, whereas the Cu atom and the other Sb atom have (4) over bar 2m site symmetry. Zigzag USb sheets stack perpendicular to the c axis. These sheets are separated by square-planar nets of Sb atoms and Cu atoms. The length of the a axis for UCu(x)Sb(2) is invariant to x, whereas there is a linear relationship between Cu occupancy and the length of the c axis (following Vegard's Law) that holds for x between 0 and 1. This is explained in terms of the crystal structure.
