Phase to phase : The in situ hydrolysis of 4‐(bromomethyl)benzoic acid to 4‐(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid (HMBA) in the presence of the uranyl cation has resulted in the novel hybrid material (A)[UO 2 (HMBA) 3 ] (A=NH 4 + or H 3 O + ), which was characterized by X‐ray diffraction. On exposure to ethanol the material undergoes a solid‐state phase transformation, accompanied by the loss of a ligand and counterion to form [UO 2 (HMBA) 2 ] (see scheme; O red, C black).
