Chloroheptakis(dimethyl sulfoxide)uranium(IV) trichloride.
In the title complex, [UCl(C(2)H(6)OS)(7)]Cl(3), the uranium metal center is coordinated in a distorted bicapped trigonal prism geometry by seven O atoms from dimethyl sulfoxide ligands and by a terminal chloride ligand. Charge balance is maintained by three outer-sphere chloride ions per uranium(IV) metal center. Principle bond lengths include U-O 2.391 (2)-2.315 (2) A, U-Cl 2.7207 (9) A, and average S-O 1.540 (5) A.
