title: A New Form of Triple-Stranded Helicate Found in Uranyl Complexes of Aliphatic α,ω-Dicarboxylates.
abstract: The reaction of uranyl ions with azelaic or dodecanedioic acids under solvohydrothermal conditions leads to crystallization of anionic dinuclear cage compounds with [M(bipy/phen)3](2+) counterions (M = 3d-block cation), while the smaller suberic acid yields heterometallic metallacycles. Complexes with the longer aliphatic chains are the first triple-stranded helicates reported in actinide chemistry.
