Uranium hexoxide
Properties
UO6
Molar mass 334.0288 g/mol
Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Uranium hexoxide is an unusual, theoretically possible compound of uranium in which the uranium atom would be attached to six oxygen atoms.[1][2]

Structure and bonding

Uranium hexoxide is predicted to have octahedral symmetry. However other forms have been studied. In the 1Oh the oxygen atoms are oxide ions (O2-). In the 1D3 form there are three peroxide ions (O22-). The 3D2h form has two oxo oxygens and two pairs of superoxide (O2-).[2]
