Rerefinement of the crystal structure of tri­chlorido­sulfonium­(IV) hexa­chlorido­uranate(V), (SCl3)[UCl6]

ABSTRACT: A redetermination of the crystal structure of tri­chlorido­sulfonium­(IV) hexa­chlorido­uranate(V) is described and compared with the previously reported structure. Single crystals of tri­chlorido­sulfonium­(IV) hexa­chlorido­uranate(V) were obtained from the reaction of uranium(IV) chloride with an excess of disulfur dichloride and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In comparison with the structure model reported previously [Sawodny et al. (1983 ▸). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem.499, 81–88.], the lattice parameters and fractional atomic coordinates were determined to a much higher precision, leading overall to an improved structure model. The ionic compound contains trigonal–pyramidal (SCl3)+ cations and slightly distorted octa­hedral [UCl6]− anions. The structure was refined as an inver
