Na. Bliznyuk et al., CLASSIFICATION OF HEAVY-METAL FLUORIDES - FLUORIDES WITH CATION ARRANGEMENT OF BETA-K2UF6 TYPE, Journal of structural chemistry, 34(5), 1993, pp. 764-770
Cation arrangement in some complex fluoride structures with U4+, Th4+,
and Zr4+ differing in composition, symmetry, and unit cell parameters
is analyzed. In all structures investigated, we have isolated (using
the CAS-PAN technique) a common structural fragment: planar close-pack
ed cation nets (3(3)4(2) + 3(6)) characteristic of the high-symmetry b
eta-K2UF6 structure chosen as the standard. The whole set of close-fil
led cation planes is described. A cation-anion fragment - columns or r
ibbons of high-valent cation polyhedra - has been isolated which deter
mines the main structural peculiarities.
