CaUO22PO426H2O

CaUO22PO426H2O is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula indicates that it is a salt containing calcium, uranium, phosphate, and water molecules. The presence of uranium suggests it is a naturally occurring or synthesized mineral containing this radioactive element. The structure includes uranyl ions (UO2)2+, phosphate ions (PO4)3-, and calcium cations (Ca2+), along with six molecules of water of hydration.

This compound belongs to the class of hydrated uranyl phosphates. Minerals of this type often form in environments where uranium-rich solutions interact with phosphate-bearing rocks, particularly in arid or semi-arid regions. The presence of water in its crystal structure is characteristic of hydrated minerals.

CaUO22PO426H2O may be found in association with other uranium-bearing minerals. Its geological occurrence is typically linked to secondary uranium ore deposits. Due to the presence of uranium, this compound is radioactive and requires appropriate handling and safety precautions. Further research would be needed to determine its specific physical properties, such as color, hardness, and crystal habit, as well as its exact formation conditions and potential applications or environmental significance.
