title: Pentavalent uranyl stabilized by a dianionic bulky tetradentate ligand.
abstract: A pentavalent uranyl complex supported by a bulky dianionic tetradentate (ONNO)-type salan ligand has been prepared by direct synthesis from the iodide precursor {[UO(2)Py(5)][KI(2)Py(2)]}(n), and displays high stability towards disproportionation and ligand dissociation but reactivity towards oxidizing substrates.
