Reactions of Hmpa (pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) with UO2(NO3)(2). 6H(2)
O, under a variety of reaction conditions, result in the formation Of
[UO2(mpa)(2)](Hmpa). 2.5H(2)O (I), unless the relative concentrations
of Hmpa and (NO;) are controlled in order to precipitate H2O [UO2(mpa)
(H2O)].[UO2(NO3)(2)].[UO2(mpa)(H2O)]. H2O (II). The crystallographic d
etails (XRD) for II are presented here, along with the infrared (IR),
thermogravimetric (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), microanal
ysis (mA) and solid-state C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data f
or both products. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
