Revisiting the bis(dimethylamido) metallocene complexes of thorium and uranium: improved syntheses, structure, spectroscopy, and redox energetics of (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 An(NMe 2 ) 2 (An = Th, U)

The reaction of (C Me ) AnCl (An = Th, U) with 2.8 or 4 equivalents of LiNMe , respectively, affords (C Me ) An(NMe ) in high yields. In addition to improved syntheses, the solid-state structures, voltammetric data, and UV-visible-NIR spectra for these classic actinide bis(dimethylamido) complexes a...

Description
Summary:The reaction of (C Me ) AnCl (An = Th, U) with 2.8 or 4 equivalents of LiNMe , respectively, affords (C Me ) An(NMe ) in high yields. In addition to improved syntheses, the solid-state structures, voltammetric data, and UV-visible-NIR spectra for these classic actinide bis(dimethylamido) complexes are presented for the first time.
