Crystal Structure of (H3 O)2 [(UO2 )2 (SO4 )3 (H2 O)] · 6.86H2 O, a New Hydroxonium Diuranyltrisulfate Aqua Complex
Russian Journal of Inorganic Chemistry(2018)
Abstract
Single crystals of earlier unknown hydroxonium monoaquatrisulfatodiuranylate 6.86-hydrate (H3O)2[(UO2)2(SO4)3(H2O)] · 6.86H2O (I) have been synthesized via the evaporation of an aqueous [UO2(NO3)2(H2O)2] · nH2O (n = 2, 4) solution containing sulfuric and nitric acids in air at room temperature. The structure of complex I has been studied by X-ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, а = 15.0903(12) Å, b = 9.9191(8) Å, c = 15.6099(13) Å, β = 112.560(1)°, space group P21/n, Z = 4, V = 2157.7(3) Å3. The complex is formed due to electrostatic attraction forces between counterions and stabilized by hydrogen bonds. Its main structural element is the [(UO2)2(SO4)3H2O] n 2- framework. The structure contains two types of uranium atoms surrounded by oxygen atoms according to a pentagonal bipyramid motif. The coordination polyhedra of all the three crystallographically different S atoms are SO 4 2- tetrahedra. The U(1) atom in the equatorial bipyramid plane is monodentately bonded to the oxygen atoms of five SO 4 2- tetrahedra, while the U(2) atom is monodentately coordinated to four sulfate groups and one water molecule.
