Organometallic and Inorganic–Organic Polymers

Carraher and coworkers employed the last two processes to recover the uranyl ion. The uranyl ion is the natural water-soluble form of uranium oxide. It is also toxic, acting as a heavy metal toxin. Through the use of salts of dicarboxylic acids and poly(acrylic acid), the uranyl ion was removed to 10−5 M with the resulting product being much less toxic and convertible to uranium oxide by heating.

In the field of actinide chemistry, the research on uranyl-salophens has always been a hot field that researchers are keen to study. The core of uranyl-salophen is uranyl ion (), and 5f-6d orbital hybridization leads to linear structure, the 5f orbital can form multiple coordination bonds [1–6]. The equatorial plane of perpendicular to the line usually forms four-, five- or six-dentate complexes [6–8]. In uranyl complexes, the uranium and oxygen atoms at both ends are usually in a straight line. This spatial position causes the donor atoms at the equatorial position to be on the same plane. In addition, the oxygen atoms on the equatorial plane are easily bridged to other atoms to form the coordination polymer [9].
