The chemistry ofmetal-organic coordination assemblies has been enriched enormously in the past two decades,and a variety of coordination assembly polymers have been discovered[1].Uranium ions have attracted considerable interestbecause oftheir reactivity,coordination behavior,bonding interactions between the metal center and ligand and their possible applications[2].

Recently,the construction ofuranyl-organic assemblies has attracted increasing interest,and a number of coordination compounds formed through the connection of uranyl units with various organic ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized. From a structural point of view,the uranyl ion is likely to form U-O (or U-F,U-N)polyhedra,which may be cross-linked by organic and/or inorganic components into chains,sheets,or three-dimensional frameworks. Furthermore,the U-O (or U-F,U-N)polyhedra havestrong tendency to polymerize into various polynuclear clusters such as dinuclear,trinuclear,and tetranuclear clusters,infini te chains,or sheets of different local structures.As a result,a very rich structural chemistry may be found for uranyl-organic assembly polymers.Recently the synthesis and crystal structures of mixed uranyl/alkali metal ions complexes with homooxacalixarenes have been published[3-4].H2pdc(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid)is an effcient ligand which is usually used as a tridentate ligand,as well as a bridging linker in the chemical design of metal-organic molecular assemblies[5-9].

2 Results and discussion

2.1 Description of the crystal structure

Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that the uranium ion is eight coordinated.The axial positions of the dodecahedron are occupied by O5 atoms.The local coordination environment around U is depicted in Fig.1.Two ligands coordinate to uranium ion through four oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms. The U1-O3(pdc),U1-O1(pdc)bond distances ranging from 0.244 1(6)to 0.245 6(6)nm.U1-N1 bond distance is 0.266 5(8)nm.Both of uranium ion and two pdc ring are in the same plane,two O5 atoms at“polar”position and two pdc ligands at“equator”position.U1-O5 bond distance is 0.175 9(6)nm.While the O5-U1-O5 angles is 180.0(6)°.K+is eight-coordinated.O1,O3,O5 still connect with K1,K1-O1,K1-O3,K1-O5 bond distances ranging from 0.310 0(7)to 0.295 6(7)nm,the U1-O1-K1,U1-O3-K1,U1-O5-K1 angles are 88.21(19)°, 91.86(19)°,107.9(3)°.The four O atoms of pdc all ligate diffrentpotassium atoms.O1-K1-O3 angles is 48.13(17)°.K1-O4(pdc),K1-O2(pdc)bond distances ranging from 0.286 3(7)to 0.302 3(6)nm.O2-K1-O4 angles is 163.38(19)°. Potassium atoms connect with each other through O7,O6.K1-O7 distance is 0.2782(7)nm,K1-O6 is 0.2713(6)nm.K1-O6-K1,K1-O7-K1 angles are 97.6(3)°,103.6(2)°

Fig.1 Crystal structure of the coordination polymer

One U1 and two K1 atoms are bridged by three oxygen atoms,two free oxygen atoms and an oxygen atom from the pdc.Two potassium atoms are bridged by one oxygen atom from water.The interesting structural feature is to note that different[UO2K2(pdc)2·3H2O] units are linked by O4 from pdc and O6 from water to form a one-dimensional chain coordination polymer down c axis(Fig.2).Meanwhile,different[UO2K2(pdc)2· 3H2O]units are also bridged by O7 from water to form another one-dimensional chain coordination polymer down a axis.Furthermore,the two-dimensional chain structures are associated with each other via O6,so that a 3D framework is formed(Fig.3).

Fig.2 1D chain coordination polymer structure of the coordination polymer down c axis

The important intermolecular interaction is the offset face-to-face π…π stacking interaction between the benzene rings.The shortest π…π centroid-tocentroid distance between the offsetface-to-face (dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 5.85°) aromatic rings of neighbouring pdc ring is 0.370 2 nm, hence,the π…π stacking interactions are very strong, lying in the range of reported distance 0.33～0.38 nm[14].The hydrogen bonds have also been observed,which is shown in Table 3.The existences of hydrogen bonds increase the stability of the structure.

Fig.3 Packing of the molecules in a unit cell of the coordination polymer

Observed alonga* axis,polymershowed a network structure,we can see same quadrilateral holes.The hole′s area is 0.4229 nm×0.2441 nm.This structure may have potential application value for the screening of match size of the molecules or molecular recognition.

2.2 IR/UV spectra

The FTIR spectrum of the complex is consistent with the structural data.Characteristic bands of the dicarboxylate groups are at 1625 and 1586 cm-1due to the asymmetric stretching.The strong band at the 3406 cm-1(O-H stretching vibration)indicates the presence of uncoordinated water molecules.The peak at 1 425 cm-1is assigned to the absorption of C=N group of pdc.

The UV spectrum of the complex was obtained in H2O solution with H2O as a reference.Two absorption bands at 225 and 267 nm were observed,they are strong and sharp,which may arise from the π→π* transition of ligands.

2.3 TG analyses

The TGA measure (Fig.4)shows a three-step weight loss:the first loss of 4.48%occurs between room temperature and 71.5℃,corresponding to the loss of two coordinated water molecules,(calc.4.37%).The second weight loss of 23.43%occurs in the range of 300～413℃,resulting from the release of one pdc molecule(calc.22.26%).The third step was attributed to the removal of another pdc ligand and Inorganic components from 448 to 689℃with the lost weight of 58.50%.
