Prior to the year 2000, non‐aqueous uranium chemistry mainly involved metallocene and
classical alkyl, amide, or alkoxide compounds as well as established carbene, imido, and …

In the last few years, considerable progress has been made in the synthesis and
characterization of complexes containing actinide–ligand multiple bonds, especially in …

The chemistry of the early to middle actinide elements (Th− Cm) is of critical importance to
the nuclear energy industry. A need for knowledge of the chemical behavior and speciation …

Classically, late transition-metal organometallic compounds promote multielectron
processes solely through the change in oxidation state of the metal centre. In contrast …

The new homoleptic ate U (III) siloxide [K (18c6)][U (OSi (O t Bu) 3) 4] 2 was prepared in
69% yield by reduction of [U (OSi (O t Bu) 3) 4] 3 with KC8. The reaction of the neutral U (III) …

The chemistry of actinide (An) and rare-earth metal (Ln and group 3) complexes featuring
multiple bonding interactions with main-group fragments has witnessed an enormous …

The structure of and bonding in two base-free terminal actinide imido metallocenes,[η5-1, 2,
4-(Me3C) 3C5H2] 2An═ N (p-tolyl)(An= U (1), Th (1′)) are compared and connected to …

Reduction of [{η5-1, 2, 4-(Me3Si) 3C5H2} 2UCl2](1) using potassium graphite (KC8) in the
presence of 2, 2′-bipyridine forms the uranium bipyridyl metallocene [{η5-1, 2, 4-(Me3Si) …

The uranium bipyridyl metallocene,[η5-1, 3-(Me3Si) 2C5H3] 2U (bipy)(2), is readily
accessible in good yield by adding potassium graphite (KC8) to a mixture of [η5-1, 3-(Me3Si) …

The reduction of [η5-1, 2, 4-(Me3C) 3C5H2] 2ThCl2 (1) with potassium graphite in the
presence of 2, 2′-bipyridine gives the purple thorium bipy metallocene [η5-1, 2, 4-(Me3C) …
