Herein, we detail the synthesis, structure, and photoconductivity of the uranyl dithiophosphinate single crystal UO2[S2P(C6H5)2]2(CH3OH)·CH3OH (denoted as U-DPDPP). The formation of bonds between uranyl ions and sulfur-based ligands endows U-DPDPP with a distinct electronic absorption property with a broadband spectrum spanning from 250 to 550 nm, giving rise to a unique semiconductive property. Under X-ray illumination, U-DPDPP displays a distinctive photoconductivity response, with a charge carrier mobility lifetime (μτ) of 2.78 × 10-4 cm2·V-1 achieved, which contradicts the electronic-silence behavior of uranyl nitrate crystal.
