(Received 16 November 2007; accepted 14 December 2007; online 21 December 2007)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C5H6N)2[UCl4O2]·C4H8O2, the pyridinium cations occupy general positions and the anions and the solvent dioxane mol­ecule are located on centres of inversion. The dioxane mol­ecules are connected to two symmetry-related pyridinium cations via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. There are additional inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl contacts, which are indicative of weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions.

The use of uranium as a source of energy has caused increasing attention which is focused on the problem of fuel reprocessing and waste storage. Much effort has been devoted, in recent years, to the preparation and characterization of specific complexing agents for the uranyl ion (UO22+), so-called "uranophiles" with the objective of a possible application for the separation of uranium species in waste liquids from the nuclear fuel cycle and for the recovery and utilization of uranium from the sea water (Sessler et al. 2006). The title compound was isolated during our study on the synthesis and characterization of uranyl complexes containing macrocyclic and acyclic polyaza and polyoxaaza Schiff bases derived from biogenic amines and their analogs to evaluate their potential as uranyl sequestering agents (Pospieszna-Markiewicz & Radecka-Paryzek, 2004; Kaczmarek et al., 2004).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) consists of one uranyl tetrachloride dianion and one dioxane molecule which are located on centres of inversion and one pyridinium cation which occupy a general position. This is quite common for similar complexes. In the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002; Version August 2007) there are 34 structures containing tetrachloro-uranyl dianions and a total of 144 structures which contain tetra-coordinated uranyl cations. Of those, 25 tetrachloro (79 for all) crystallizes with Z'<1, of which 22 (71 for all) have Z'=1/2.

In the crystal structure of the title compound the uranium atoms are coordinated by two oxygen and four chlorine atoms within slightly distorted octahedra (Fig. 1 and Tab.1). The U—O bond lengths of 1.789 (7)Å and the U—Cl bond lengths of 2.679 (3)Å and 2,684 (3)Å are close to the average CSD values (U—O = 1.77 (2)Å and U—Cl = 2.6791) Å, respectively).

Each two symmetry related pyridinium cations are connected by strong N—H···O hydrogen bonding to the dioxane molecule, forming hydrogen-bonded (pyridine···dioxane···pyridine)2+ cations (Tab. 2). These building units are connected by weak C—H···Cl interactions to the dications into a three-dimensional network (Tab. 2 and Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The title compound was isolated during the slow diffusion of dioxane into pyridine hydrochloride solution of the uranyl(VI) Schiff base complex prepared through one-step template reaction of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with spermidine in the presence of uranyl(VI) acetateunder following conditions: to a mixture of uranyl acetate (42.5 mg, 0.1 mmol) in methanol (10 cm3) and 2,6-diacetylpyridine (16,3 mg, 0.1 mmol) in methanol (10 cm3), spermidine (0.016 cm3, 0.1 mmol) in methanol (10 cm3) was added dropwise with stirring; the reaction wascarried out for 4 h, the solution volume was then reduced to 10 cm3 by roto-evaporation and a yellow precipitate formed on addition of a small amount of diethyl ether was filtered off, washed with ether, and dried in vacuo.

Refinement top

The H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropic using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2. Ueq(C,N) of the parent atom. Weak restraints (ISOR) were applied to the displacement parameters of C, N and O atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
