Treatment of [M(H2Li)] with UCl4 in pyridine led to the formation of the dinuclear complexes [MLi(py)UCl2(py)2] and/or [Hpy][MLi(py)UCl3] [Li = N,N′-bis(3-hydroxysalicylidene)-R, R = 1,2-phenylenediamine (i = 1), R = trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (i = 2), R = 2-amino-benzylamine (i = 3), R = 1,3-propanediamine (i = 4), R = 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (i = 5); M = Cu or Ni]. The crystal structures show that the 3d and 5f ions occupy, respectively, the N2O2 and O4 cavities of the Schiff base ligand, the U4+ ion adopting a dodecahedral or pentagonal bipyramidal configuration in the neutral and anionic complexes, respectively.
Graphical abstractThe dinuclear complexes [MLi(py)UCl2(py)2] and/or [Hpy][MLi(py)UCl3] were obtained by reactions of [M(H2Li)] (M = Cu, Ni) with UCl4.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
