Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The crystal structure of lithium triuranate Li2U3O10 has been determined. In the three-dimensional U3O10 framework two basic structural elements have been isolated: infinite chains of (UO2)O4 octahedra and infinite strips of (UO2)O5 pentagonal bipyramids. The similarity and difference between this structure and the structures of H2U3O10 and D2U3O10 are discussed.

  2. 2.

    The crystal structure of Zn(UO2)2SO4(OH)4·1.5H2O — the first representative of uranyl hydroxosulfates — has been determined. In this structure there are hydroxouranylsulfate layers linked by bivalent cations. The hydroxo groups coordinated by UO 2+2 groups make the maximum use of their coordination possibilities, being tridentate-bridging ligands.
