The Exceptional Diversity of Homoleptic Uranium–Methyl Complexes
Abstract
Abstract Homoleptic σ‐bonded uranium–alkyl complexes have been a synthetic target since the Manhattan Project. The current study describes the synthesis and characterization of several unprecedented uranium–methyl complexes. Amongst these complexes, the first example of a homoleptic uranium–alkyl dimer, [Li(THF) 4 ] 2 [U 2 (CH 3 ) 10 ], as well as a seven‐coordinate uranium–methyl monomer, {Li(OEt 2 )Li(OEt 2 ) 2 UMe 7 Li} n were both crystallographically identified. The diversity of complexes reported herein provides critical insight into the structural diversity, electronic structure and bonding in uranium–alkyl chemistry.
