Abstract: A uranium(Ⅵ) hybrid supramolecules containing 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, namely [UO2Cl4]2[dmphenH2]2·3H2O(1), has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV, XPS and X-ray single-crystal diffraction methods and so on. The crystal of uranium hybrid material belongs to monoclinic system, space group Cc with:a=1.7043(2) nm, b=0.8809(13) nm, c=2.7492(10) nm, α=90°, β=94.493(2)°, γ=90°, Z=4, V=4.1149(8) nm3, with a hexacoordinated distorted octahedral geometry. Because of the extensive hydrogen bonding interactions and π…π interactions, the structural stability of the compound has been greatly increased. The UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra at room temperature reveal that the maximal emission of the compound is red shifted as a result of coordination with the metal ion. The compound emits green luminescence at 506.6 nm(λex=407 nm). Cycling voltammetric study reveals that the compound exhibits an irreversible reduction peak and a pair of reversible redox peaks. The crystal shows high photocatalytic activity under UV light. CCDC:780721.
