Template synthesis of uranyl salts with tetraaza macrocyclic ligands o
btained by in situ reaction of benzil or diacetyl with 1,2-diaminobenz
ene, 1,2-diaminoethane and 1,3-diaminopropane yields novel mono-, di-
and tri-nuclear macrocyclic complexes. The uranium(VI) atom is octacoo
rdinated in the mononuclear complex, whereas in polynuclear complexes
it is hepta coordinated terminally and hexa coordinated centrally.
