Abstract Uranium (VI) peroxo complexes of composition [UO (O 2) L–L (NO 3) 2], where L–L are the Mannich base ligands morpholinobenzyl urea, piperidinobenzyl urea, morpholinobenzyl thiourea, piperidinobenzyl thiourea, morpholinomethyl thiourea, piperidinomethyl thiourea, or morpholinomethyl urea, are reported. The synthesized complexes were characterized by use of a variety of physicochemical techniques, viz. ...
