Decasodium uranyl hexa­sulfate trihydrate, Na10[(UO2)(SO4)4](SO4)2·3H2O, contains an unusual uranyl sulfate cluster with the composition [(UO2)(SO4)4]6-. The cluster is composed of a uranyl pentagonal bipyramid and four sulfate tetrahedra. Three sulfate tetrahedra are linked to the uranyl pentagonal bipyramid by the sharing of vertices, and the other shares an equatorial edge of the uranyl pentagonal bipyramid. The uranyl sulfate clusters occur in layers parallel to (010). The structure also contains two isolated symmetrically distinct sulfate tetrahedra, which also occur in layers parallel to (010). The uranyl sulfate clusters and isolated sulfate tetrahedra are linked through bonds to Na+ cations, and by hydrogen bonding involving the water molecules.

Comment top

Uranyl sulfates constitute an important group of minerals that are fairly widespread, although they are not abundant. Owing to the presence of uranium and sulfate in some ground waters, uranyl sulfate minerals may be important for determining the mobility of uranium in natural systems. We have undertaken a systematic study of the structures of natural and synthetic uranyl sulfates, and have grown crystals of the title new Na uranyl sulfate, (I), that contains the second known example of an unusual uranyl sulfate cluster. \sch

The structure of (I) contains one symmetrically distinct U6+ cation that is strongly bonded to two O atoms, forming an approximately linear (UO2)2+ uranyl ion (designated Ur) with a U—OUr bond length of 1.777 Å. The uranyl ion is coordinated by five O atoms, located at the equatorial vertices of a pentagonal bipyramid that is capped by the OUr atoms. The mean U—Oeq (eq is equatorial) bond length of 2.363 Å is in excellent agreement with the average bond length of 2.37 (9) Å for uranyl polyhedra from numerous well refined structures (Burns et al., 1997).

There are six unique S6+ cations in the structure of (I), each of which is tetrahedrally coordinated by O atoms, with S—O bond lengths ranging from 1.455 to 1.477 Å Please clarify - values in CIF in range 1.436 (4)–1.524 (3) Å. The structure contains ten symmetrically distinct Na+ cations that are coordinated by from five to eight ligands, with mean bond lengths ranging from 2.356 to 2.617 Å.

The sums of the bond valences incident upon each site in the structure of (I) were calculated using the parameters for [7]U6+—O given by Burns et al. (1997), and for S6+—O and Na—O from Brese & O'Keeffe (1991). The sum at the U6+ site is 6.09, consistent with the assignment of all U as U6+. The sums at the S6+ and Na sites range from 5.97 to 6.32 and 0.90 to 1.19, respectively. Excluding the contributions of the H atoms, the sums at the O-atom positions range from 1.85 to 2.19 for atoms O1 to O26, and from 0.28 to 0.41 for atoms O27, O28 and O29, which correspond to H2O groups.

The projection of the structure of (I) along [100] shows that it contains finite clusters of uranyl and sulfate polyhedra, as well as isolated sulfate tetrahedra (Fig. 1). The uranyl sulfate cluster is shown in Fig. 2 and involves the UrO5 pentagonal bipyramid, which is linked to four sulfate tetrahedra, three by the sharing of equatorial vertices of the bipyramid, and one by the sharing of an equatorial edge with the S1 tetrahedron. The sharing of a tetrahedral edge with the bipyramid results in a relatively short U1—S1 distance of 3.092 (1) Å. This is only the second occurrence of this uranyl sulfate cluster; the first was recently reported in the structure of Na6(UO2)(SO4)4(H2O)2 (Hayden & Burns, 2001). It is only the third example of an inorganic uranyl compound that involves the sharing of the edge of a uranyl polyhedron with a tetrahedron that contains a hexavalent cation; the other example is the structure of K4[(UO2)(SO4)3] (Mikhailov et al., 1977).

The uranyl sulfate clusters in (I) are aligned parallel to (010), and occur in layers that are also parallel to (010) (Fig. 1). The orientation of each uranyl sulfate cluster within the layer is identical. The structure also contains two sulfate tetrahedra (S4 and S5) that are not components of the uranyl sulfate cluster. These tetrahedra occur in layers parallel to (010), between the layers of uranyl sulfate clusters. The uranyl sulfate clusters, as well as the S4 and S5 tetrahedra, are connected only through bonds to the Na+ cations, and by hydrogen bonding to the three symmetrically distinct H2O groups that are bonded to Na+ cations.

The structure of (I) is classed with those uranyl compounds containing isolated clusters of polyhedra of high bond valence, owing to the presence of the uranyl sulfate clusters, as well as the isolated sulfate tetrahedra (Burns et al., 1996). This structural class is relatively rare in uranyl compounds, which tend to be dominated by sheets of uranyl polyhedra and other polyhedra of high bond valence.

Although the sharing of an equatorial edge of a uranyl polyhedron with a sulfate tetrahedron is rare in uranyl compounds, it is possibly rather common in solutions containing uranyl and sulfate. Using a combination of EXAFS and NMR spectroscopy, Moll et al. (2000) characterized the structures of uranyl sulfate complexes in acidic solutions. They found several complexes that involve the sharing of edges between uranyl pentagonal bipyramids and sulfate tetrahedra, as indicated by U—S distances in the range 3.10–3.14 Å, which are in excellent agreement with the value of 3.092 (1) Å found in (I).

The Flack parameter (Flack, 1983) of 0.439 (2) indicated that racemic twinning may be present. The final cycles of the refinement included racemic twinning, which reduced R1 from 0.041 to 0.019.

Experimental top

A uranyl sulfate solution was prepared by dissolving UO3 (5.78 g; Alfa Aesar) in a solution containing ultrapure water (40 ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (5.2 ml). A small quantity (5 ml) of the solution was placed in a test tube and the pH adjusted to 4.0 using sodium hydroxide. The resulting solution was placed in a Fisher Scientific Isotemp oven at 343 K until evaporation was complete. Amongst the products, acicular light-yellow crystals of (I) up to 0.5 mm in length were recovered.

Refinement top

As is typical for compounds containing U, it was not possible to locate the positions of the H atoms in the difference Fourier maps, thus their positions were excluded from the refinement.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
