Synthesis, spectroscopic, and X-ray crystallographic characterisation of thorium(IV) and uranium(IV) malonato and substituted malonato compounds
摘要:
With doubly protonated piperazine or ethylenediamine as cations, eight Th(IV) malonato or substituted malonato complexes have been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, thermal analysis, IR and C-13 CPMAS NMR spectroscopy. One polymeric U(IV) malonato complex has also been prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, thermal analysis and IR spectroscopy. (C4H12N2)(2)[Th(C3H2O4)(4)]. H2O (2), (C2H10N2)(2)[Th(C3H2O4)(4)(H2O)] (3), (C4H12N2)(2)[Th(C4H4O4)(4)]. 2H(2)O (4), (C2H10N2)(2)[Th(C5H6O4)(4)]. 5H(2)O (6) and [U(C3H2O4)(2)(H2O)(3)](n) (9) have been further characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Two types of monomeric anion structure are identified in the Th compounds: four 1,5-bidentate ligands in a distorted square antiprismatic geometry, giving coordination number (CN) 8; and four 1,5-bidentate ligands and a coordinated H2O molecule in a capped square antiprismatic geometry, giving CN 9. The U compound has a 3D polymeric structure, with U in an approximately capped square antiprismatic geometry, achieving CN 9 from two 1,5-bidentate ligands, each of which also bridges through a carbon yl oxygen to an adjacent U centre, and three H2O molecules. In the crystallographically-characterised Th compounds, the Th-O and C-O distances are correlated with the carbonyl resonance positions in the C-13 CPMAS NMR spectra, allowing prediction of structural types in the non-crystalline compounds.
