Title: Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of crystalline molecular complexes of the {[C5H3(SiMe3)2]3Th} 1– anion containing thorium in the formal +2 oxidation state

Abstract

Structural, spectroscopic, and DFT analysis of the first molecular complexes of Th2+indicate they have a 6d2electron configuration of the type expected for the transactinide ions Rf2+and Db3+.
