Abstract
Presented here are two isostructural uranyl coordination polymers UO2EDOH2O·H2O 1 and UO2BDOH2O·2H2O 2 EDO2=ethylene12dioxamate BDO2=butylene12dioxamate with identical stepwise zigzag chain structure and distinct interchain hydrogen bonding interaction prepared from hydrothermal reaction of DEEDO or DEBDO DEEDO=diethyl ethylene12dioxamate DEBDO=diethyl butylene12dioxamate with uranyl ions The monomeric uranylbased fluorescence emissions of compounds 1 and 2 are redshifted by about 6 and 5 nm respectively compared to that of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate Compound 1 has stronger emission than compound 2 but both their emissions exhibit tripleexponential decay The photophysics of uranyl oxalate trihydrate was also investigated for comparison The selective crystallization of compound 1 in alkaline solution was applied to the sequestration of uranyl ions showing a kinetic preference
