Reaction of 1 equiv of KN(H)Ts (Ts = p-MeC₆H₄SO₂) with the actinide metallacycles, [An^IV(CH₂SiMe₂NSiMe₃)(NR₂)₂] (An = U, Th; R = SiMe₃), in the presence of 18-crown-6, affords the imido complexes, [K(18-crown-6)][An^IV(NTs)(NR₂)₃] (An = U, 1; Th, 2), in modest to moderate yields after work-up. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopies. To our knowledge, they represent the first sulfonylimido complexes reported for the f elements. Finally, they are also a rare example of an isostructural set of actinide imido complexes.
