title: Combining coordination and supramolecular chemistry for the formation of uranyl-organic hybrid materials.
abstract: Three hybrid compounds have been synthesized through hydrothermal reactions of UO(2)(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O with 4-halobenzoic acid (X = Cl, Br, I). The formation of these compounds utilizes a composite synthesis methodology that explicitly employs aspects of both coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry (namely halogen···halogen interactions).
