B. Masci and P. Thuéry

Abstract: In the title compound, (C₄H₁₅N₃)[UO₂(C₃₃H₃₀O₅)]·2CH₃OH·H₂O, the uranyl ion is bound to the four phenoxide groups of the deprotonated p-methyldihomooxacalix[4]arene in the usual cone conformation, giving a dianionic complex. The diprotonated diethylenetriamine counter-ion links neighbouring complex anions along the b axis through hydrogen bonding with the oxo, phenoxide and ether groups. The solvent molecules are also involved in hydrogen bonding.
