Diaquadinitratouranyl(VI) enforces the O(phenoxo)2O(methoxy)2 compartment of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde-diamine ligands to interact with water molecules

Syntheses, characterization, crystal structures and the d-d spectra of compounds derived from 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde-diamine ligands, are described in this work. Diaquadinitratouranyl(VI) enforces the O(phenoxo)2O(methoxy)2 compartment of ligands to interact with water molecules and to generate the self-assemblies. The correlation of d-d band position with the displacement of the copper(II) center from the least-squares basal plane has been highlighted.
