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
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]
