  • Title: Structural Tuning and Sensitization of Uranyl Phosphonates by Incorporation of Countercations into the Framework.
    Author: Tang SF, Hou X.
    Journal: Inorg Chem; 2019 Jan 22; 58(2):1382-1390. PubMed ID: 30588807.
    Abstract:
    By the introduction of terephthalic acid, tetramethylammonium chloride, and Zn2+ ions, three new uranyl triphosphonates with varying crystal structures, namely, [H3O][(UO2)2(HL)]·H2O (1), [NMe4][(UO2)2(HL)(H2O)]·H2O (2), and [(UO2)3Zn(H2L)2(H2O)2]·3H2O (3), where H6L = benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene) triphosphonic acid, have been successfully synthesized and characterized by means of powder and single crystal XRD, IR, EA, TGA, UV-vis, and luminescence. These three compounds all possess three-dimensional framework structures with hydrium, tetramethylammonium, and Zn2+ as the respective countercations. The uranium(VI) center luminescence of compounds 1 and 2 is completely quenched. However, the incorporation of Zn2+ into the matrix of uranyl phosphonate in the case of compound 3 results in the emerging of the typical intense vibronic emissions of U(VI), demonstrating that zinc phosphonate can behave as sensitizer of uranyl phosphonates. The quenching and sensitization mechanism were also discussed.
