Crystal structure of dioxidobis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ2O,O′)[1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propane-κN]uranium(VI)

Abstract

In the title compound, [UO2(C5H7O2)2(C14H15N)], the uranyl(VI) unit ([O=U=O]2+) is coordinated to two acetylacetonate (acac) anions and one 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propane (ppp) molecule. The geometry around the U atom is UNO6 pentagonal–bipyramidal; two uranyl(VI) O atoms are located at the axial positions, whereas four O atoms from two chelating bidentate acac ligands and one N atom of a ppp ligand form the equatorial plane.
