Abstract:
Three thorium(IV)-based metal-organic hybrid compounds with 2D layered and 3D framework structures exhibitinggraphene-like (6,3) sheet topologies were prepared with linkers with threefold symmetry. These three compounds contain rare and relatively anisotropic coordination environments for low-valent actinides that are similar to those often observed for high-valent actinide ions.
