title: Versatile new uranyl(VI) dihalide complexes supported by tunable organic amide ligands.
abstract: A series of uranyl(VI) dihalide complexes UO2X2L2 (X = Cl, Br) supported by organic amide ligands (L = R'C(O)NR2; R' = i-Pr; R = i-Pr, i-Bu, s-Bu) offers the versatile combination of facile synthesis using benchtop methods, air-stable crystalline solids obtained in high yield, high solubility in common organic solvents and tunable steric/electronic properties.
