Abstract
Data on crystalline U(VI) compounds with mutual coordination of uranyl ions in their structure (cation-cation interactions, CCIs) are summarized. The topology and geometry of CCIs, including the characteristics of Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra of uranium atoms, are analyzed. 15 types of complexes [UO22+]n formed by CCIs are revealed. The influence of CCIs on the stereochemical features of U(VI) are considered, and common and distinctive features of CCIs in uranyl(VI) and neptunyl(V) compounds are discussed. Factors favoring the occurrence of CCIs in uranyl compounds are analyzed. The spectroscopic manifestations of CCIs are considered. Data on CCIs in some noncrystalline media are presented. The strength of cation-cation bonds in uranyl complexes is analyzed.
