- (Tabachenko, 1995) also found an orthorhombic UMo$_{5}$O$_{16}$ structure, where some of the molybdenum sites are disordered.
- (Tabachenko, 1995) give the data for this structure in the unique-axis $c$ orientation of space group $P2$ #3. We used FINDSYM and AFLOW to transform this to the standard unique-axis $b$ orientation. This makes substantial changes to the primitive vectors.
- Space group $P2$ allows an arbitrary choice of origin for the y-axis. Here we set y$_{4}$=0 for the uranium position.
