Single crystals of γ-K(UO₂)(NO₃)₃ were prepared from aqueous solutions by evaporation. The crystal structure [orthorhombic, Pbca (61), a = 9.2559(3) A, b = 12.1753(3) A, c = 15.8076(5) A, V = 1781.41(9) A³, Z = 8] was determined by direct methods and refined to R₁ = 0.0267 on the basis of 3657 unique observed reflections. The structure is composed of isolated anionic uranyl trinitrate units, [(UO₂)(NO₃)₃]–, that are linked through eleven-coordinated K+ cations. Both known polymorphs of K(UO₂)(NO₃)₃ (α- and γ-phases) can be considered as based upon sheets of isolated complex [(UO₂)(NO₃)₃]– ions separated by K+ cations. The existence of polymorphism in the two K[UO₂(NO₃)₃] polymorphs is due to the different packing modes of uranyl trinitrate clusters that adopt the same two-dimensional but different three-dimensional arrangements.
