Syntheses and structures of two new uranyl complexes [UO2(DPDPU)2(NO3)2](C6H5CH3) and [UO2(PMBP)2(DPDPU)](CH3C6H4CH3)0.5

Two new uranyl complexes UO₂(DPDPU)₂(NO₃)₂](C₆H₅CH₃) (1) and UO₂(PMBP)₂ (DPDPU)](CH₃C₆H₄CH₃)_0.5 (2), (DPDPU?=?N,N′-dipropyl-N,N′-diphenylurea, HPMBP?= 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolone-5) were synthesized and characterized. The coordination geometry of the uranyl atom in 1 is distorted hexagonal bipyramidal, coordinated by two oxygen atoms of two DPDPU molecules and four oxygen atoms of two bidentate nitrate groups. The coordination geometry of the uranyl atom in 2 is distorted pentagonal bipyramidal, coordinated by one oxygen atom of one DPDPU molecule and four oxygen atoms of two chelating PMBP molecules.
