Two pentagonal bipyramidal complexes, ethanol-(S-ethyl-N1,N4-bis(3-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde)-isothiosemicarbazide-N,N′,O,O′)-dioxidouranium(VI) (1) and ethanol-(S-ethyl-N1-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-N4-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde)-isothiosemicarbazide-N,N′,O,O′)-dioxidouranium(VI) (2), have been prepared and characterized. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography, and the structural parameters are discussed with those observed in related complexes. Electronic absorption, proton magnetic resonance, and FT-IR spectra have been recorded and analyzed. In both complexes, the U(VI) centers are surrounded by N2O2 donor ligands, two oxido groups, and one ethanol in a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The thermal stability of the new complexes has also been determined.
