Title: Identification of the U(v) complex (C5Me5)2UVI(=NSiMe3) in the reaction of (C5Me5)2UIIII(THF) with N3SiMe3

The U(V) imido complex (C5Me5)2UVI(=NSiMe3), 1, was crystallographically characterized from the reaction of (C5Me5)2UIIII(THF) with N3SiMe3 which demonstrates that it can be an intermediate in the reaction which ultimately forms (C5Me5)2UVI(=NSiMe3)2 and (C5Me5)2UIVI2. U(V) intermediates have been proposed in such reactions, but have not been previously observed. The direct observation of 1 provides insight into the reaction mechanisms of U(III) compounds with azide reagents.
