Synthesis, IR and X-Ray Studies of a Dioxouranium(VI) Nitrate Complex with N,N′-Tetraethyl-N″ -trichloracetylphosphortriamide

Abstract
A new dioxouranium(VI) nitrate complex with N,N′-tetraethyl-N″-trichloracetylphosphortriamide (HL = CCl3C(O)N(H)P(O)(NEt2)2) of composition UO2 (HL)2(NO3)2 (1) has been synthesised. The IR spectroscopic data reveal that the ambidentate ligand is coordinated to the metal center in a monodentate manner via the phosphoryl oxygen atom. The crystal and molecular structure of 1 has been determined from X-ray diffraction data (triclinic, space group P1̄ with a = 9.225(2), b = 10.360(2), c = 12.249(2) Å, α = 100.02 (1), β = 103.81(1), γ = 108.80 (1)°, Z = 1; R = 0.037 for 4092 unique reflections. The structure is made up of centrosymmetric molecules in which the neutral ligands HL are monocoordinated. Phosphoryl and carbonyl groups of the HL moieties are in the trans positions to each other. The axial vertices of the distorted hexagonal bipyramid of uranium are occupied by two oxo ligands [U-O 1.753(5) Å] while six oxygen atoms of phosphoryl and nitrate groups lie in the equatorial plane [U-O 2.347(5)-2.547(6)Å],
