"Supramolecular" Solid-State Chemistry: Interpenetrating Diamond-Type Frameworks of U Ions Linked by S,S'-Bidentate P S Molecular Rods in UP S.

Inseparably interwoven are three independent polymeric diamond-type U(P S ) frameworks in the structure of the title compound. The linear P S units act as molecular rods linking the pseudotetrahedral U centers. U(P S ) may be viewed as a coordination polymer which is formed from U/P/S melts by the solid-state equivalent of the self-assembly reactions in solution.
