Flexible diphosphonic acids for the isolation of uranyl hybrids with heterometallic UVI = O - ZnII cation-cation interactions
A family of uranyl diphosphonates have been hydrothermally synthesized using various flexible diphosphonic acids and Zn(UO2)(OAc) 4·7H2O in the presence of bipy or phen. Single-crystal X-ray analyses indicate that these compounds represent the first examples of uranyl phosphonates with heterometallic UVI = O - Zn II cation-cation interactions.
Rapid one-pot synthesis of alkane-α ω, diylbisphosphonic acids from dihalogenoalkanes under microwave irradiation
A one-pot, two-step synthesis of alkylenebisphosphonic acids from dihalogenoalkanes was performed under microwave irradiation. The reaction is very rapid and convenient for the synthesis of small samples of alkylenebisphosphonic acids. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
