The syntheses and crystal structures of six new heterometallic compounds containing the UO2(2+) cation, o-, m-, and p-iodobenzoic acid ligands, and Tl(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+) cations which adopt the role of both charge balancing cation and secondary metal center are described, as are the luminescent properties for Tl(+) containing compounds 1, 4, and 6. The structures of compounds 1-3 are isomorphous and contain uranyl monomers bound by o-iodobenzoic acid ligands with Tl(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+) cations acting as secondary metal centers. Compounds 4 and 5 are also isomorphous and feature m-iodobenzoic acid ligands bound to the uranyl cation along with Tl(+) and Rb(+) cations. Compound 6 is unique in this series as it is assembled from a dimeric uranyl unit and features p-iodobenzoic acid ligands and Tl(+) cations which function as charge balancing secondary metal centers. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of these materials suggests that the secondary metal cations are incorporated based on the size of their ionic radius (Tl(+) < Rb(+) < Cs(+)), which is directly related to the size of the "pocket" observed in 1-6. Further, Voronoi-Dirichlet tessellation and Hirshfeld surface analysis were used to probe the coordination environment of the secondary metal centers as part of ongoing efforts to develop metrics for determining the coordination number of secondary metal cations in similar systems.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 October 2017.
All research outputs
#8,676,723
of 27,705,900 outputs
Outputs from Inorganic Chemistry
#5,247
of 25,648 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#116,321
of 333,605 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Inorganic Chemistry
#44
of 316 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,705,900 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,648 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,605 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 316 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
