“…The uranium lies 0.066(9) Å out of the plane of the nitrate, which has a dihedral angle of 4.5(2)°to the O 6 equatorial plane that contains (necessarily) the uranium atom. The DMSO-S atom here is only 3.333(4) Å from uranyl-O and even closer Although a ligand of remarkable versatility [26], picrate anion is formally a member of the class of aryloxides and, structurally, uranium(VI) complexes of aryloxide ligands are somewhat better characterised in the particular case of calixarenes [9,28,29] than they are for simple, unidentate aryloxides [30], though this is a situation under redress [23]. A common feature of the currently known chemistry in both domains appears to be the frequent detection of complexes involving binding of the aryloxide donors to oligonuclear uranium clusters which can be regarded as arising from uranyl (UO 2 2+ ) entities linked, most commonly, via bridging by way of equatorial donor atoms.…”
