Use of 15 N NMR spectroscopy to probe covalency in a thorium nitride
Abstract
The first isolable molecular thorium nitride, [(NR 2 ) 3 Th(μ-N)Th(NR 2 ) 3 ] − , was synthesized by reaction of [Th{N(R)(SiMe 2 )CH 2 }(NR 2 ) 2 ] with NaNH 2 and characterized by X-ray crystallography, 15 N NMR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.
