Abstract

Inseparably interwoven are three independent polymeric diamond-type U(P₂ S₆ )₂ frameworks in the structure of the title compound. The linear P₂ S₆ units act as molecular rods linking the pseudotetrahedral U⁴⁺ centers. U(P₂ S₆ )₂ may be viewed as a coordination polymer which is formed from U/P/S melts by the solid-state equivalent of the self-assembly reactions in solution.
