Synthesis and crystal structure analysis of uranyl triple acetates

Single crystals of uranium based triple acetates, analytical reagents for sodium determination, were synthesized and structurally, spectroscopically and topologically characterized. The structures were compared with the structures of compounds from preceding families [M(H2O)6)][UO2(CH3COO)3]2 (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Zn) and Na[UO2(CH3COO)3]. Analysis was performed with the method of molecular Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra to reveal a large contribution of the hydrogen bonds into intermolecular interactions which can be a reason of low solubility of studied complexes.
