A novel method to synthesize some dioxouranium(VI) polymer complexes of the general formula [UO2(L-n)(2)(Ac)(2)] (where HLn = azo allyl rhodanine). The structure of the novel mononuclear dioxoutranium(VI) polymer complexes was characterized using elemental analysis, spectral (electronic, infrared, 1H & 13C NMR) studies, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal analysis. The molar conductivities show that all the polymer complexes are non-electrolytes. The IR showed that the ligand HL act as bidentate neutral through carbonyl group and imine group nitrogen atom forming thereby a six-membered chelating ring and concomitant formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The 03 frequency of UO2 has been shown to be an excellent molecular probe for studying the coordinating power of the ligands. The values of 03 of the prepared complexes containing UO2+2 were successfully used to calculate the force constant, Fuo (10-(8) N/angstrom) and the bond length Ruo (angstrom) of the U-O bond. A strategy based upon both theoretical and experimental investigations has been adopted. The theoretical aspects are described in terms of the well-known theory of 5d-4f transitions. Wilson's, matrix method, Badger's formula, and Jones and El-Sonbati equations were used to calculate the U-O bond distances from the values of the stretching and interaction force constants. The most probable correlation between U-O force constant to U-O bond distance were satisfactorily discussed in term of Badger's rule and the equations suggested by Jones and El-Sonbati. The effect of Hammet constant is also discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
