Ionothermal effects on low-dimensionality uranyl compounds using task specific ionic liquids

Abstract

Ionothermal methods were employed in the synthesis of two novel uranyl coordination compounds: [C₅H₆N]₂ [UO₂(C₇H₇SO₃)₄(H₂O)] (1) and UO₂(HAsO₄)(NC₅H₁₁O₂) (2), using pyridinium and betainium class ionic liquids. The results show novel ionic liquid incorporation and uranyl structural topologies, providing insight into the development of low-dimensionality uranyl complexes beyond traditional hydrothermal methods.
