Summary
The structure of the heterobinuclear complex of Ni2+ and [U022]2+ with the tetraanionic ligand derived from the condensation of 1,2-diaminoethane with o-acetoacetylphenol has been determined from diffractometer data and refined to R = 7.2%. The crystals are monoclinic, P21 /a, with α = 20.65(2), b = 8.58(1), c = 14.68(2) Å and β = 97.78(5); Z = 4. The ligand employed has two different coordination sets of atoms, N2O2 and O2O2, two oxygen atoms being common to both donor sets. In the complex the nickel ion, which is four coordinate but not square planar, is retained in the inner N2O2 chamber, whilst the uranyl ion is incorporated in the outer O2O2 chamber. A molecule of solvent is retained to preserve the preferred seven coordination of uranium.
