Two new solid-state uranium(IV) sulfate x-hydrate complexes (where x is the total number of coordinated plus solvent waters), namely catena-poly[[penta­aqua­uranium(IV)]-di-μ-sulfato-κ4O:O′] monohydrate], {[U(SO4)2(H2O)5]·H2O}n, and hexa­aqua­bis­(sulfato-κ2O,O′)uranium(IV) dihydrate, [U(SO4)2(H2O)6]·2H2O, have been synthesized, structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and analyzed by vibrational (IR and Raman) spectroscopy. By comparing these structures with those of four other known uranium(IV) sulfate x-hydrates, the effect of additional coordinated water mol­ecules on their structures has been elucidated. As the number of coordinated water mol­ecules increases, the sulfate bonds are displaced, thus changing the binding mode of the sulfate ligands to the uranium centre. As a result, uranium(IV) sulfate x-hydrate changes from being fully crosslinked in three dimensions in the anhydrous compound, through sheet and chain linking in the tetra- and hexa­hydrates, to fully unlinked mol­ecules in the octa- and nona­hydrates. It can be concluded that coordinated waters play an important role in determining the structure and connectivity of UIV sulfate complexes.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Notes: (a) normalized cell volume, i.e. cell volume divided by Z, the number of molecules per cell; (b) a review of known sulfate binding modes is presented by Papatriantafyllopoulou et al. (2009); (c) each of the two sulfates is is coordinated twice in a chelating fashion, giving a total of four bonds.
