Abstract
Two uranyl-organic hybrid compounds were self-assembled from the reaction of uranyl cations with 1,4-phenylenebis(methylidyne)tetrakis(phosphonic acid) in the presence of alkali metal cations (Rb+ and Cs+): Rb0.40{(UO2)2[(H0.90O3P)2CH–C6H4–CH(PO3H0.90)2](H2O)2} (1) and [Cs0.33(H2O)2]2{(UO2)2[(H0.67O3P)(HO3P)CH–C6H4–CH(PO3H)(PO3H0.67)](H2O)2} (2). Compound 1 consists of chains of UO7 pentagonal bipyramids linked by the tetrakisphosphonate moieties into two-dimensional layered networks. In compound 2, the –CH(PO3)2 groups chelate the uranyl centers in an exclusively bidentate mode, forming corrugated chains within a uranyl-tetrakisphosphonate framework. In both structures, the uranyl tetrakisphosphonate sheets are stabilized by weak intermolecular forces and noncovalent interactions involving water molecules and alkali metal ions.
