Figure 2
Packing of the U and S atoms in the crystal structure of (SCl3)[UCl6], showing a distorted NaCl-type arrangement. The unit cell drawn in black can be shifted to the one highlighted in blue to make the relation more easily visible. The idealized blue unit cell shows the deviation of U atoms from F-centering as well as the deviation of the (SCl3)+ entities (Cl atoms not shown) from the octahedral voids. |
