title: Uranyl ion coordination with rigid aromatic carboxylates and structural characterization of their complexes.
abstract: Uranyl complexes of rigid aromatic carboxylates were synthesized and their solid-state structures characterized by X-ray crystallography. The new ligands create cavities lined with endohedral functions to encapsulate the uranyl ion.
