The crystal structure of bis(iminodiacetato)dioxouranium(VI) has been determined by Fourier methods and refined by least-squares calculations to R=0.038. The unit cell is triclinic P]" with a=8-970 (3), b=6.367 (2), c=5-843 (2)~, 0c=92.42 (4), ,8=76.38 (4), y=104.15 (4) °, Z=I. The iminodiacetate ligands are bridging the uranyl groups in infinite chains running in the [0]1] direction, cross-linked through hydrogen bonds. The carboxylate groups are both ionized and the proton is linked to the nitrogen atom. One carboxylate group of each ligand acts as monodentate, the other as bidentate on two adjacent uranium atoms. The geometry around the uranium is approximately hexagonal bipyramidal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
