Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Benzyl N'-[[2-(hydroxy-kO)phenyl]ethylene]-N-[[2-(hydroxy-kO)phenyl]methylene]-carbamohydrazonothioato-kN,kN']-ethanol-dioxido-uranium

Resumo

The uranyl compound UO₂(L')EtOH (L' = benzyl N-(2-(oxidanyl)benzylidene)-N'-((2-(1-oxidanyl)phenyl)ethylidene) carbamohydrazonothioate) was synthesized and its molecular and crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic sp. gr. P\(\bar {1}\), Z = 2. The coordination geometry about the uranium atom is distorted pentagonal bipyramidal consisting of a UO₂O₄N₂ polyhedron where the oxido ligands occupy axial positions with a symmetric linear structure (O=U=O angle = 179.11(12)°). The pentagonal plane (N₂O₃) is formed by the dinegative, tetradentate Schiff base ligand (N₂O₂) and the oxygen atom of the coordinated alcohol ligand. In the complex, the ligand adopts a propeller-like conformation.
