Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, [U(2)Cl(4)O(4)(C(2)H(6)OS)(4)], the compound has a centrosymmetric dimeric structure bridged by two chloride anions. Each U(VI) atom is seven-coordinate in a penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the equatorial plane of the uranyl unit there are two O atoms from non-adjacent dimethyl sulfoxides and three chloride ions (of which two chlorides are bridging). The compound is of inter-est as an anhydrous starting material of the uran-yl(VI) ion.
