Abstract: The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystal belongs to a monoclinic, space group P21/n with Z=2. Lattice parameters are: a=11.782(2)Å, b=8.584(2)Å, c=22. 631(2)Å,β=98.29(2)°, V= 2265.1 Å3. The structure was analyzed by Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R=0. 066 for 3024 reflections. The uranyl group is not located within the crown ether. Rather, the structure consists of neutral UO2(NO3)2(H2O)2 units and separate crown ether molecules connected by hydrogen bonding through coordinate water molecules. The oxygen atoms of the linear uranyl group are coordinated only to uranium; the eight-coordination of uranium is completed by six equatorial oxygen donors, two from water and four from bidentate nitrate groups. Each uranium is coordinated in a slight distorted hexagonal bipyramid configuration.
