摘要
The reactions Of UO3 and TeO3 with KCl, RbCl, or CsCl at 800 degreesC for 5 d yield single crystals of A(2)[(UO2)(3)(TeO3)(2)O-2] (A = K (1), Rb (2), and Cs (3)). These compounds are isostructural with one another, and their structures consist of two-dimensional 2infinity[(UO2)(3)(TeO3)(2)O-2](2-) sheets arranged in a stair-like topology separated by alkali metal cations. These sheets are comprised of zigzagging uranium(VI) oxide chains bridged by corner-sharing trigonal pyramidal TeO32- anions. The chains are composed of 3 dimeric, edge-sharing, pentagonal bipyramidal UO7 Moieties joined by edge-sharing tetragonal bipyramidal UO6 units. The lone-pair of electrons from the TeO3 groups are oriented in opposite directions with respect to one another on each side of the sheets rendering each individual sheet non-polar. The alkali metal cations form contacts with nearby tellurite oxygen atoms as well as with oxygen atoms from the uranyl moieties.
