(Dimethylformamide)dioxobis(pentane-2,4-dionato)uranium(VI)

J. Huuskonen, K. Raatikainen and K. Rissanen

Abstract: The title complex, [UO₂(C₅H₇O₂)₂(C₃H₇NO)], was obtained as an unexpected product from our attempts to prepare U^IV complexes with imine-type ligands. The title complex was also prepared directly from [UO₂(OAc)₂]·2H₂O, pentane-2,4-dione and DMF. The U^VI atom has a pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry and is surrounded by seven O atoms. The bond distances and angles are similar to those found previously in similar structures.
