The known ligand, 2-diethylphosphonato-4,6-dipiperidino-1,3,5-triazine has been prepared and the crystal and molecular structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecule crystallized (−30°C) in the monoclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 8.698(3), b = 10.064(4), c = 12.798(5) Å, α = 67.34(3), β = 77.08(3), γ = 68.01(3)°, Z = 2, V = 954.5(6) Å 3 and ϱ calc = 1.33 g cm −3. The structure was solved by direct methods and blocked least-squares refinement converged to R F = 4.9% and R w F = 5.2% on 295 variables and 2995 unique reflections with F> 3σ( F). Selected bond distances for the ligand include: PC(1) 1.834(2) Å, PO 1.452(2) Å and CN(ring) avg 1.343(3) Å. The complex UO 2(NO 3) 2- {C 3N 3(C 5H 10N) 2[(EtO) 2P(O)]} 2 was obtained from a mixture of UO 2(NO 3) 2·6H 2O and the ligand in a 1:2 ratio and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The crystal and molecular structure of the compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The molecule crystallized (20°C) in the monoclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 10.050(2), b = 10.628(2), c = 12.464(2) Å, α = 73.96(1), β = 70.25(1), γ = 75.32(3)°, Z = 1, V = 1185.2(3) Å 3, and ϱ calc=1.63 g cm −3. The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and blocked least squares refinements converged to R F = 3.4% and R w F = 3.6% on 286 variables and 5271 unique reflections with F> 3σ( F). The complex contains a linear UO 2 2+ group bonded to two bidentate nitrate ions and the phosphoryl groups of two trans situated phosphonate ligands. Several important bond distances include: UO 1.764(5) Å, UO(phosphoryl) 2.381(3) Å, UO(nitrate) avg=2.514(3) Å, PO 1.472(4) Å, PC(1) 1.817(4) Å, CN(ring) avg 1.337(6) Å.
