Abstract

In the title compound, [UO2(C5H7O2)2(C14H15N)], the uran-yl(VI) unit ([O=U=O](2+)) is coordinated to two acetyl-acetonate (acac) anions and one 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propane (ppp) mol-ecule. The geometry around the U atom is UNO6 penta-gonal-bipyramidal; two uran-yl(VI) O atoms are located at the axial positions, whereas four O atoms from two chelating bidentate acac ligands and one N atom of a ppp ligand form the equatorial plane.

Chemical context

The structural properties of uran­yl(VI) complexes are inter­esting from the viewpoint of nuclear fuels reprocessing and actinide waste treatment. In most commercial reprocessing plants, spent nuclear fuels are treated by the Purex method, in which uranium and plutonium are extracted from a nitric acid solution of spent nuclear fuels using tributyl-phosphate/n-dodecane. Uranium in the nitric acid solution exists as uran­yl(VI) ([O=U=O]2+) complexes. However, the Purex method has a few problems; for example, as the processing takes place on a relatively large scale, a large amount of extractant is necessary (Ikeda et al., 2004 ▸; Suzuki et al., 2012 ▸) Attempts to find other suitable coordinating ligands are therefore being undertaken. A number of structural studies of uran­yl(VI) β-diketonate complexes have been reported by ourselves and others (Alcock et al., 1984 ▸, 1987 ▸; Huuskonen et al., 2007 ▸; Kannan et al., 2001 ▸; Kawasaki & Kitazawa, 2008 ▸; Kawasaki et al., 2010 ▸; Sidorenko et al., 2009 ▸; Tahir et al., 2006 ▸; Takao & Ikeda, 2008 ▸). In particular, acetyl­acetonate (acac), is the simplest β-diketonate ligand and an important coordin­ating ligand for uranium. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of a novel uran­yl(VI) acetyl­acetonate (acac) complex with the pyridine-based ligand ppp [ppp = 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propane] (Seth, 2014 ▸), namely, [UO2(acac)2(ppp)].

Structural commentary

The title compound of formula [UO2(C5H7O2)2(C14H15N)], is constructed from one uran­yl(VI) ([O=U=O]2+) unit, two acetyl­acetonate anions and one mol­ecule of ppp (Fig. 1 ▸). The uranium(VI) atom exhibits a penta­gonal–bipyramidal coord­ination geometry: two uran­yl(VI) oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) are located in the axial positions and four oxygen atoms (O3, O4, O5 and O6) from two chelating bidentate acac ions, together with one nitro­gen atom (N1) of the ppp mol­ecule, form the equatorial plane. The bond lengths around U1 (Table 1 ▸) decrease in the order UN > U—Oacac > U=O. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring of the ppp mol­ecule and the equatorial plane around U1 is 49.43 (12)°. The above structural properties are similar to those in the majority of previously characterised [UO2(acac)2 L] (L = pyridine derivative ligand) complexes (Alcock et al., 1984 ▸; Kawasaki & Kitazawa, 2008 ▸; Kawasaki et al., 2010 ▸). The conformation of the ppp mol­ecule is GG′ (Fig. 2 ▸). The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the phenyl ring in the ppp mol­ecule is 26.96 (13)°.

Supra­molecular features

Synthesis and crystallization

The title complex was synthesized according to literature procedures (Alcock et al., 1984 ▸, 1987 ▸; Kawasaki & Kitazawa, 2008 ▸; Kawasaki et al., 2010 ▸). To 10 ml of a methano­lic solution containing 1 mmol UO2(NO3)2·6H2O was added 3 mmol of acetyl­acetone and 3 mmol of 1-phenyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propane in 5 ml MeOH. The solvent evaporated slowly at room temperature for a few days and orange crystal were obtained.

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. All H atoms were placed at calculated positions [C(CH)—H = 0.93, C(CH2)—H = 0.97 and C(CH3)—H = 0.96Å] and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(CH,CH2) and U iso(H) = 1.5U eq(CH3).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
