Abstract
In the title compound, [U(C(15)H(11)O(2))(2)O(2)(C(2)H(6)O)], the U(VI )atom has a penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The two so-called '-yl' O atoms occupy the axial positions whereas four O atoms from the two chelating dibenzoyl-methanate ligands and the O atom from the ethanol mol-ecule are situated in the equatorial plane. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between one of the '-yl' O atoms and the ethanol OH group assemble mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric dimer.
