The crystal structure of the bimetallic complex between uranyl ions and the acyclic bis(hydroxymethyl)phenolic oligomer (HOCH2)[o-(p-ButC6H 2OH)-o-CH2]6OH (H8L) has been determined; [(UO2)2(H2L)(NO3)][NEt 3H]3·MeOH is the first metal complex of an acyclic analogue of a calixarene structurally characterized.
