An uranium trimesate open framework is built up from trinuclear building blocks (μ(3)-OU(3)) connected to each other by tricarboxylate linkers to generate honeycomb-like 3D topology. This compound was solvothermally synthesized from low-valent uranium in an N,N-dimethylformamide solvent under an inert atmosphere, favoring stabilization of the tetravalent oxidation state, which is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.
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.
