Uranium hexoxide is an unusual, theoretically possible compound of uranium in which the uranium atom would be attached to six oxygen atoms.[1][2] It would be an unprecedented example of an element in the +12 oxidation state; for comparison, the highest known oxidation state is +9 for iridium in the cation IrO+4.[3][4]
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 (O2−2). The 3D2h form has two oxo oxygens and two pairs of superoxide (O−2).[2]
