Uranyl complexation by a schiff-base, polypyrrolic macrocycle

Mononuclear uranyl (UO22+) complexes supported by the polypyrrolic macrocycle L have been synthesized and exhibit hinged macrocyclic structures with an expanded cavity and enforced pi-stacking and hydrogen bonding motifs.Mononuclear uranyl (UO22+) complexes supported by the polypyrrolic macrocycle L have been synthesized and exhibit hinged macrocyclic structures with an expanded cavity and enforced pi-stacking and hydrogen bonding motifs.
