Examining solid-state structures reveals uranyl oxo interactions and implications for ligand design.
• Examining solid-state structures provides insight into selective uranyl ligand design. • Uranyl oxo secondary-sphere interactions include metal binding and hydrogen bonding. • Of only ∼100 structures, alkali metals bind most commonly uranyl oxo atoms. • Hydrogen bonding to the uranyl oxo occurs primarily for nitrogen and oxygen donors. • Uranyl oxo atom interactions reveal 120–140° as the average bonding angle.
