An uranyl isophthalate has been hydrothermally synthesized at 200 掳C for 24 h, from a mixture of uranyl nitrate, isophthalic acid, and hydrazine in water. It was characterized by single-crystal analysis [triclinic, P1̅, a = 7.3934(3) 脜, b = 13.3296(5) 脜, c = 15.4432(5) 脜, 伪 = 111.865(2)掳, 尾 = 90.637(2)掳, 纬 = 104.867(2)掳, V = 1355.49(9) 脜3] and different spectroscopic techniques (Raman, IR-ATR, UV鈥搗isible). The 3D structure of the phase (UO2)8O2(OH)4(H2O)4(1,3-bdc)4路4H2O (1,3-bdc = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) reveals octanuclear units based on the association of 7-fold coordinated uranyl cations (pentagonal bipyramid) involving a rare case of cation鈥揷ation interaction together with edge-sharing polyhedral connection mode. UV鈥搗isible absorption spectroscopy confirmed that uranium was only involved in the structure as uranyl forms (excluding the presence of tetravalent or pentavalent uranium). Additionally, 渭-Raman and IR-ATR experiments allowed assigning four uranyl contributions to the four types of uranyl entities in the structure, in agreement with the XRD analysis.
