Abstract

Two novel tetra-nuclear uranyl-mediated two-fold interpenetrating networks, [U4O10(dbsf)3]2[H2bpp]2 and [U4O10(dbsf)3][H2bpp], have been hydrothermally synthesized from a semi-rigid carboxylic acid, H2dbsf, with the organic base, bpp, as the charge balancing agent and stacking template (H2dbsf = 4,4'-dicarboxybiphenyl sulfone, bpp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane).
