(C8H26N4)(0.5)[(UO2)(2)(SO4)(3)(H2O)]center dot 2H(2)O, an organically templated uranyl sulfate with a novel layer type

摘要

The title compound, hemi[3,3′-(ethylenediiminio)dipropanaminium] aquatetraoxotri-μ-sulfato-diuranate(VI) dihydrate, (C8H 26N4)0.5[(UO2)2(SO 4)3(H2O)]·2H2O, contains infinite anionic [(UO2)2(H2O)(SO 4)3]2- layers with [C8H 26N4]4+ cations balancing charge and participating in extensive hydrogen bonding, along with uncoordinated water molecules. Each UVI centre is seven-coordinate with a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry, and each sulfate tetrahedron bridges three adjacent uranium centres. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
