RESUMO
Uranyl compounds with tetrahedral oxoanions demonstrate a significant structural and topological diversity. Complexes of transuranium elements with such anions are not equally well-represented in the literature. To answer the question about the structural similarity in a series of An6+ complexes with XO42- anions, we synthesized and studied 10 new U, Np, and Pu chromates with outer-sphere organic cations. The structural analysis and comparison with the literature data shows that the Np and Pu complexes are generally based on the same structural blocks as the uranyl compounds. Moreover, the chromate anion does not show any unique structural role as compared to the sulfate and selenate ions. As a result, the neptunium and plutonium chromates contain 1D and 2D structural units similar to those found in the uranyl sulfates and selenates. The templating role of the outer-sphere cations in the actinyl complexes with tetrahedral oxoanions is also not evident, and there is no clear correlation between the nature of the outer-sphere cations and the topology of the structural units.
RESUMO
The inclusion of monopyridinecarboxylic acids into the structures of uranyl halides results in the formation of unexpected structural units. Molecules of picolinic and nicotinic acids acting as bridging ligands favor the formation of unprecedented dinuclear units in two uranyl bromide complexes, which comprise two metal centers in different, tetragonal- and pentagonal-bipyramidal, coordination geometries. Moreover, the different positions of the nitrogen atom in the molecule of nicotinic acid induce significant bending of the heterodimer. The uranyl chloride complex with isonicotinic acid also exhibits a structure containing metal atoms in two unique geometries. The structure consists of cationic and anionic isolated fragments. The anionic part is unprecedented and represents the first example of a 1:3 uranyl halide unit with a tetragonal bipyramid surrounding the central atom.
RESUMO
A series of new dimethyl-sulfoxide-containing pertechnetates and perrhenates of tetravalent U, Np, and Pu were synthesized and structurally characterized by the X-ray diffractometry. In all the synthesized compounds, the actinide atoms were coordinated by eight DMSO molecules with or without an extra XO4- anion in the coordination sphere. This resulted in the square antiprismatic or capped square antiprismatic coordination of An atoms. Three or four XO4- anions play the role of outer-sphere anions. The electron and IR spectra of the compounds correlated with their crystal structure.
RESUMO
A series of new pertechnetate, perrhenate, and perchlorate compounds of hexavalent U, Np, and Pu containing isonicotinic acid were synthesized. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffractometry. In all compounds, actinide atoms are found in pentagonal bipyramidal surroundings. They are coordinated by 2 to 4 isonicotinic acid molecules which exist in zwitterionic form as a result of N atom protonation. If only 2 or 3 isonicotinic acid molecules are present in the surroundings of an actinide (An) atom, TcO4- or ReO4- anions act as monodentate ligands. Otherwise, XO4- play the role of outer sphere anions. Electron and IR spectra of the compounds correlate with their crystal structure.
RESUMO
A series of isostructural oxalates of Th, U, Np, and Pu have been synthesized. The crystal structure of {C(NH(2))(3)}(4)[An(C(2)O(4))(4)]·2H(2)O comprises infinite [An(C(2)O(4))(4)](4n-) chains, guanidinium cations and water molecules. Each An atom is connected to five oxalate anions, two of which act as bridging tetradentate ligands, while the other three function as terminating bidentate ligands. Electron and IR spectra of the compounds as well as the results of thermal analysis correlate with their structure. An actinide contraction effect is demonstrated by a decrease in the An-O interatomic distances and the volumes of An atom coordination polyhedra and Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra. Ten-coordinate An oxalates are discussed in terms of continuous shape measures approach.
RESUMO
This study concerns the formation of complexes with actinides at oxidation state +IV, from Th to Am, through a lacunary heteropolyanion ligand P(2)W(17)O(61)(10-). The preparation of original single crystals of complexes with 1:2 stoichiometry provided structural data through single-crystal X-ray diffraction for the entire An(IV) series. An(IV) atoms in these complexes have a coordination number of 8, and their coordination polyhedron is a distorted square antiprism. The data were used to compute a mean (An-O) interatomic distance for each actinide. When the interatomic distance is plotted versus the inverse ionic radius of these tetravalent actinides, it appears that the simple electrostatic model is not suitable for Am(IV) and Pu(IV), although this trend must be confirmed by further investigation with other examples from the An(IV) series.
RESUMO
The first complex of a transuranium element (tetravalent plutonium) with nucleotide (deoxycytidinemonophosphate, dCMP) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure of [Pu(4)(NO(3))(8)(HdCMP)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](NO(3))(4).2H(2)O consists of complex cations [Pu(4)(NO(3))(8)(HdCMP)(4)(H(2)O)(8)](4+), NO(3)(-) anions, and water molecules. There are two crystallographically independent Pu atoms in the structure, both having similar surroundings. Each of the Pu atoms is coordinated by three O atoms of phosphate groups belonging to three different (HdCMP)(-) anions, two bidentate nitrate anions, and two water molecules. The crystal structure is confirmed by IR and UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopic data.

New Np(V) complexes with imidazole, [NpO(2)(CH(3)COO)(Im)(2)(H(2)O)], [(NpO(2))(2)(C(2)O(4))(Im)(6)] x 5 Im x H(2)O, and [NpO(2)(NO(2))(Im)(4)], were synthesized. Their crystal structures were determined using X-ray single-crystal diffractometry. The crystal structures are confirmed by IR and UV-vis spectroscopic data. In all three complexes, neptunium coordinates the imidazole molecule through the nitrogen atom. These complexes are the first example of direct bonding of the imidazole molecule to the actinide atom. These results suggest that coordination of histidine residue in proteins or other imidazole-containing biologically important molecules could occur under usual biological conditions.
