“…The solid mass was ltered, and the product, salophen, was recrystallized from ethanol and vacuum-dried for 2 h. Next, this salophen was added into a beaker containing 50 mL ethanol, and 3.75 g hexahydrate uranyl nitrate was added to the mixture, which was then stirred for 45 min under reux and cooled to room temperature. Aer ltering and washing with ethanol three times, the synthetic product, uranyl-salophen complex, was dried under vacuum at 60 C for 12 h. The synthesis process and structure 17,19,20,32 of the uranyl-salophen complex is illustrated in Scheme 1.…”
