Abstract

UO2F2 abstracts F− anions from TlF in liquid ammonia solution and the compound [Tl2(NH3)6][{UO2F2(NH3)}2(μ-F)2] is formed. The compound has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations for the solid state. Quantum-chemical investigation of the [{UO2F2(NH3)}2(μ-F)2]2− anion showed that the U−(μ-F)−U σ-3c-4e-bond is essentially ionic. The [Tl2(NH3)6]2+ cation shows a thallophilic Tl⋅⋅⋅Tl interaction. Fluoride ion affinities (FIAs) were calculated for different UO22+ species [UO2Fx]2−x and [UO2Fx(NH3)5−x]2−x with x=0 to 4.
