A novel uranium-containing coordination polymer: poly[[aqua(benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato)dioxouranium(VI)] monohydrate]

L. A. Borkowski and C. L. Cahill

Abstract: The title compound, {[UO₂(C₉H₄O₆)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, is a novel material consisting of a [UO₂]²⁺ ion bonded to five O atoms, four of which are from three separate 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid molecules, while the fifth is from a coordinated water molecule. This connectivity gives rise to chains running in the [01] direction.
