Abstract

The compound [UO2(C6H5COCHCOC6H5)2.H2O] was synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR and CHN analysis. Structure of the compound shows that the uranium atom is surrounded by seven oxygen atoms in a pentagonal bi-pyramidal geometry. The water molecule is hydrogen bonded to another molecule via the uranyl and β-diketonate oxygen atoms to give a linear zig-zag arrangement along the ‘a’ axis. The whole molecule is stabilized in solid state by various intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.
