title: IR spectroelectrochemical study on UVO2+ complex: first evidence for weakening of U[double bond]O bond strength in uranyl moiety with reduction from U(VI) to U(V).
abstract: We have obtained the first evidence that the U[double bond]O bond strength in uranyl moiety is weakened with the reduction from U(VI)O(2)(2+) to U(V)O(2)(+) from the IR spectroelectrochemical study on U(VI)O(2)(saloph)DMSO and [U(V)O(2)(saloph)DMSO](-) (saloph = N,N'-disalicylidene-o-phenylenediaminate, DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) complexes with the thin layer electrode cell for IR measurements.
