Аннотация:Synthesis and X-ray diffraction studies of {N(C2H5)4}[AnO2(C2H4BrCOO)3]
[An = U (I), Np (II), or Pu (III)] and C2H4BrCOOH (IV), where C2H4BrCOO− is an anion of
the 3-bromopropionic acid, are reported. The isostructural coordination compounds I−III
contain mononuclear anionic complexes [AnO2(C2H4BrCOO)3]− belonging to the crystal
chemical group AB01 3 (A = AnO22+; B01 = C2H4BrCOO−). In the crystal structure of IV, the
C2H4BrCOOH molecules are hydrogen bonded into centrosymmetric dimers R2 2(8). Using the
method of molecular Voronoi−Dirichlet (VD) polyhedra, the features of intermolecular
interactions in crystals of I−IV are discussed in support of the results of IR and UV spectroscopy
experiments. Actinide contraction in I−III manifests itself in a regular reduction of the average
length of the axial and equatorial bonds in hexagonal bipyramids AnO8, in an increase in
νas(AnO22+) wavenumbers, and in a simultaneous decrease in the volume and sphericity degree
of VD polyhedra of An atoms in the U−Np−Pu series. The title compounds represent an
interesting architecture, where 3-bromopropionate ions penetrate through the square 44 net of
tetraethylammonium ions and thus bind adjacent nets via the “locking effect”.
