N2 - The structure of amorphous U2O7 has been examined by extended x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (EXAFS) and modelled using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. A hybridised metastudtite-UO3 structure is proposed, consisting of peroxide bonds (O-Operoxo), uranyl units (U=Oyl) and U-O bonding. Experimental and simulated X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to confirm the proposed structure.
