Heterometallic zinc uranium oxyfluorides incorporating imidazole ligands

Two heterometallic uranium oxyfluorides with hybrid networks were hydrothermally synthesized by incorporating two imidazoles, 1-(biphenyl-4-yl)-lH-imidazole (bpi) and 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-l-yl)ben- zene (dib), formulated as Zn(bpi)2(UO2)2(H2O)F6 (1) and Zn(dib)(UO2)F4-0.5H20 (2). Compound 1 consists o...

Description
Summary:Two heterometallic uranium oxyfluorides with hybrid networks were hydrothermally synthesized by incorporating two imidazoles, 1-(biphenyl-4-yl)-lH-imidazole (bpi) and 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-l-yl)ben- zene (dib), formulated as Zn(bpi)2(UO2)2(H2O)F6 (1) and Zn(dib)(UO2)F4-0.5H20 (2). Compound 1 consists of chains of edge-sharing UO2F5 and UO2F4(H20) pentagonal bipyramids, which are linked by Zn(bpi)2 moieties to form the sheet structure with decorated bpi. While in compound 2, sheets of edge- sharing dimers of UO2F5 pentagonal bipyramids and ZnF3N2 polyhedra are linked by dib, creating a pillared three-dimensional framework. The two compounds represent the few examples of heterometallic uranium oxyfluorides incorporating organic ligands. The syntheses, structure as well as the IR spectra, UV-vis spectra and luminescent properties of the bimetallic uranium oxyfluorides are studied.
