Syntheses and crystal structures of two novel alkaline uranyl chromates A{sub 2}(UO{sub 2})(CrO{sub 4}){sub 2} (A=Rb, Cs) with bidentate coordination mode of uranyl ions by chromate anions

Single crystals of Cs{sub 2}(UO{sub 2})(CrO{sub 4}){sub 2} and Rb{sub 2}(UO{sub 2})(CrO{sub 4}){sub 2} were prepared by solid state reactions. The structures are based upon the [(UO{sub 2})(CrO{sub 4}){sub 2}]{sup 2-} chains. Within the chains, UrO{sub 5} pentagonal bipyramids (Ur=uranyl) form Ur{sub 2}O{sub 8} dimers, which are linked via CrO{sub 4} tetrahedra into one-dimensional chains. The CrO{sub 4} tetrahedra coordinate uranyl ions in both mono- and bidentate fashion, which is unusual for uranyl chromates. The bidentate coordination has a strong influence upon geometrical parameters of both U and Cr coordination polyhedra. The conformation of the chains in 1 and 2 is different due to the different size of the Cs{sup +} and Rb{sup +} cations. - Graphical abstract: Uranyl chromate chain with monodentate and bidentate coordination mode of uranyl cations by CrO{sub 4} tetrahedra in Cs{sub 2}(UO{sub 2})(CrO{sub 4}){sub 2}.
