Abstract
Reaction of uranyl nitrate with N-(2-acetamido)iminodiacetic acid (ADA) under hydrothermal conditions resulted in the hydrolysis of the amide group and the isolation of the complex [(UO2)(HNTA)(H2O)2], in which each nitrilotriacetate ligand, protonated at the N site, bridges three metal atoms to give rise to infinite ladder-like ribbons built from 2:2 metallacycles.
Graphical abstractNitrilotriacetate behaves as a trigonal assembler in its complex with uranyl ions, giving rise to ladder-like ribbons in which each ligand has an unusually low coordination number of three.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
