Dissolution of lanthanide and actinide metals using iodine and 2-propanol. Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of LnI{sub 3}(HO-i-Pr){sub 4} (Ln = La, Ce) and Th{sub 2}I{sub 4}(O-i-Pr){sub 4}(HO-i-Pr){sub 2}

Reaction of lanthanum, cerium, or neodymium metals with 3/2 equiv of iodine in 2-propanol leads to formation of the alcohol adducts LnI{sub 3}(HO-i-Pr){sub 4} (Ln = La (1), Ce (2), Nd (3)) in good yield. Reaction of thorium metal turnings with 2 equiv of iodine in 2-propanol produces the dimeric halide-alkoxide complex Th{sub 2}I{sub 4} (O-i-Pr){sub 4}(HO-i-Pr){sub 2}(4). The molecular structures of 1,2 and 4 have been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
