How to Bend the Uranyl Cation via Crystal Engineering

Three uranyl complexes featuring deviations from linearity of more than 15° have been synthesized, and their structural, supramolecular, spectroscopic, and computational properties have been comprehensively explored. Additionally, these findings are put into context via direct comparison with 12 “nonbent” uranyl complexes that were also prepared as part of this study. Presented is a strategy and general approach to the manipulation of the O═U═O bond angle via a combination of simple coordination chemistry and promoted supramolecular interactions.
