Uranium pentafluoride is a coordination polymer which consists of UF5 units linked by bridging fluorides forming linear chains.

The pentafluoride of uranium has been characterised by C.J. Howard, J.C Taylor and A.B. Waugh, Journal of Solid State Chemistry, 1982, 45, 396-398.

It is clear that the solid is a 1D coordination polymer
