“…Besides, PBAand IBPHAform isolated molecular species of [UO2(L)S] general formula, where S designates a monodentate organic solvent (MeOH, EtOH, DMF, or DMSO) unable to promote intermolecular association of the complexes unlike water. [34][35][36] Considering the uranyl bond metrics, the [UO2(PIPO)2(H2O)] structure shows U=O distances of 1.778(4) and 1.783(4) Å with O3 and O5, respectively (Table 1), which are very close to those reported for [UO2(NMA)2(H2O)] (1.785(3) Å on average) 15 and, more generally, fall into the typical range found for the other crystallographically characterized hydroxamato uranyl complexes (Table S3, see ESI †). As far as the O=U=O angle is concerned (179.2(2)°), the triatomic coordination center can be considered as essentially linear, in accordance with the angular values compiled in Table S3 for the related structures.…”
