The synthesis and molecular structures of a U(v) neutral terminal oxo complex sodium uranium nitride contact ion pair are described. the former is achieved by use t BuNCO as mild oxygen transfer reagent, whilst that latter via reduction NaN3. Both mono-uranium complexes stabilised presence bulky silyl substituents on ligand framework facilitate 2e- oxidation single U(iii) centre. In contrast, when steric hindrance around metal centre reduced less groups, products di-uranium, U(iv) bridging...
The new dianionic ligand C6H4{p-C(CH3)2C6H2Me2O–}2 (=p-Me2bp), featuring two aryloxide donors and a central arene ring, has been synthesized used to prepare the mixed-ligand U(III) compound [U(Cp*)(p-Me2bp)], which exhibits an η6 interaction with uranium center. Reductive activation of CO2 was investigated using [U(Cp*)(p-Me2bp)] in supercritical CO2, gave dinuclear carbonate complex, {U(Cp*)(p-Me2bp)}2(μ-η1:η2-CO3), cleanly selectively. Reactivity studies conventional solvents lower...
Abstract Improving our comprehension of diverse CO 2 activation pathways is vital importance for the widespread future utilization this abundant greenhouse gas. by uranium(III) complexes now relatively well understood, with oxo/carbonate formation predominating as readily reduced to CO, but isolated thorium(III) unprecedented. We show that complex, [Th(Cp′′) 3 ] ( 1 , Cp′′={C 5 H (SiMe ) ‐1,3}), reacts give mixed oxalate‐carboxylate thorium(IV) complex [{Th(Cp′′) [κ ‐O C{C ‐3,3′‐(SiMe }]}...
