“…However, such infrared bands near 900 cm 1 were observed in some synthetic ammonium (900 cm 1 , 1.785Å), potassium (892 cm 1 , 1.790Å; or 880 cm 1 , 1.799Å) and strontium uranyl selenites (909 cm 1 , 1.778Å, X-ray an average 1.821Å). 11,16 The molar ratio Sr : U : Se D 1 : 3 : 2 in the formula of the strontium uranyl selenite hydrate, prepared by Almond and Albrecht-Schmitt, 11 31,32 and Burns 33 and also with uranyl selenite minerals with similar uranyl anion sheet phosphuranylite-type topology, as guilleminite and marthozite. Bands close to 850-860 cm 1 may be also attributed to the 1 UO 2 2C (866.5 cm 1 , 1.747Å; 856.4 cm 1 , 1.756Å).…”
