Abstract

A new complex, Na2(H2O)2UO2(PDC)2 (1), has been synthesized from the ligand pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H2PDC) and uranyl acetate. The crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by single-crystal diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 8.0606(6) Å, b = 11.3274(8) Å, c = 11.6584(8) Å, α = 116.7790(10)°, β = 107.4170(10)°, and γ = 90.9540(10)°. Compound 1 was further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, luminescence spectroscopy, and UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy.

Graphical Abstract

A new complex, Na2(H2O)2UO2(PDC)2, was synthesized from the ligand pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (H2PDC) and uranyl acetate, and was characterized via single-crystal diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, luminescence spectroscopy, and UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy.
