Abstract

The facile encapsulation of U(III) and La(III) by 2.2.2-cryptand (crypt) using simple starting materials is described. Addition of crypt to UI₃ and LaCl₃ forms the crystallographically-characterizable complexes, [U(crypt)I₂]I and [La(crypt)Cl₂]Cl. In the presence of water, the U(III)-aquo adducts, [U(crypt)I(OH₂)][I]₂ and [U(crypt)I(OH₂)][I][BPh₄], can be isolated.
