Uranyl hydroxide
Uranyl hydroxide is a hydroxide of uranium with the chemical formula UO(OH) in the monomeric form and (UO)(OH) in the dimeric; both forms may exist in normal aqueous media. Uranyl hydroxide hydrate is precipitated as a colloidal yellowcake from oxidized uranium liquors near neutral pH.
Hydroxide
Few hydroxo complexes of germanium have been characterized. Tin(II) hydroxide Sn(OH) was prepared in anhydrous media. When tin(II) oxide is treated with alkali the pyramidal hydroxo complex is formed. When solutions containing this ion are acidified, the ion [Sn(OH)] is formed together with some basic hydroxo complexes. The structure of [Sn(OH)] has a triangle of tin atoms connected by bridging hydroxide groups. Tin(IV) hydroxide is unknown but can be regarded as the hypothetical acid from which stannates, with a formula [Sn(OH)], are derived by reaction with the (Lewis) basic hydroxide ion.
