Abstract

Abstract The compounds Rh₂U₆S₁₅, Cs₂Ti₂U₆Se₁₅, Cs₂Cr₂U₆Se₁₅, and Cs₂Ti₂U₆Te₁₅ have been synthesized at 1173 K. All crystallize in space group Oh9-Im3¯m of the cubic system. Rh₂U₆S₁₅ has a framework structure with three-dimensional channels. The compounds Cs₂Ti₂U₆Se₁₅, Cs₂Cr₂U₆Se₁₅, and Cs₂Ti₂U₆Te₁₅ have structures similar to that of Rh₂U₆S₁₅, but with Cs cations variably filling the channels. In all four structures the transition element is octahedrally coordinated by chalcogens and the uranium atom is in a bicapped trigonal-prismatic arrangement. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cs₂Cr₂U₆Se₁₅ implies both Cr and U magnetic contributions. From these data the compound is not antiferromagnetic, but it could have either a ferrimagnetic or a ferromagnetic ground state.
