Abstract The bonding of organo-f-element complexes is examined both by review theoretical considerations and examination experimental methods to determine the extent covalency. While ligand—metal orbital overlap important in rigorous descriptions electronic structure (and therefore many spectroscopic studies), only a few cases do covalent contributions significantly perturb chemical behavior compounds.
Uranium(VI) alkoxide complexes are prepared via metathesis reactions of [UO2Cl2(THF)2]2 with potassium alkoxides in nonaqueous media. The dark red compound U[OCH2C(CH3)3]6, 1, results from redistributive exchange oxo and neopentoxide ligands between more than one uranium species. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis 1 reveals a monomer which the is coordinated pseudooctahedral fashion by six ligands. Imposition steric congestion at metal center prevents oxo-alkoxide ligand using...
