A Structurally Characterized Organometallic Plutonium(IV) Complex

The blood‐red plutonocene complex Pu(1,3‐COT′′)(1,4‐COT′′) (4; COT′′=η(8)‐bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been synthesized by oxidation of the anionic sandwich complex Li[Pu(1,4‐COT′′)(2)] (3) with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride. The first crystal structure determination of an organopluton...

Descripción
Sumario:The blood‐red plutonocene complex Pu(1,3‐COT′′)(1,4‐COT′′) (4; COT′′=η(8)‐bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been synthesized by oxidation of the anionic sandwich complex Li[Pu(1,4‐COT′′)(2)] (3) with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride. The first crystal structure determination of an organoplutonium(IV) complex revealed an asymmetric sandwich structure for 4 where one COT′′ ring is 1,3‐substituted while the other retains the original 1,4‐substitution pattern. The electronic structure of 4 has been elucidated by a computational study, revealing a probable cause for the unexpected silyl group migration.
