Abstract

A new class of mixed ligand complexes of uranium(VI) is reported. The complexes have the stoicheiometry [UO 2 L( A)], where L is a potentially tridentate or quadridentate Schiff base anion and A is an anion which may act as unidentate or bidentate ligand. The configurations of these complexes have been investigated by means of 1H NMR, i.r. and u.v. spectroscopy. The complexes contain hepta-coordinated uranium with irregular pentagonal bipiramidal geometry. Conductivity measurements indicate that the complexes are non-electrolytes even in the presence of a large excess of triphenylphosphine oxide. Studies on the relative stabilities of the UA bonds are reported. The influence of the anion on the stretching frequency of the NH group of the Schiff base and on the antisymmetric stretching mode ( v 3) of the OUO group has been determined.
