Steric control of redox events in organo-uranium chemistry: synthesis and characterisation of U(v) oxo and nitrido complexes
The synthesis and molecular structures of a U(v) neutral terminal oxo complex and a U(v) sodium uranium nitride contact ion pair are described. The synthesis of the former is achieved by the use of (t)BuNCO as a mild oxygen transfer reagent, whilst that of the latter is via the reduction of NaN(3)....

description | The synthesis and molecular structures of a U(v) neutral terminal oxo complex and a U(v) sodium uranium nitride contact ion pair are described. The synthesis of the former is achieved by the use of (t)BuNCO as a mild oxygen transfer reagent, whilst that of the latter is via the reduction of NaN(3). Both mono-uranium complexes are stabilised by the presence of bulky silyl substituents on the ligand framework that facilitate a 2e(–) oxidation of a single U(iii) centre. In contrast, when steric hindrance around the metal centre is reduced by the use of less bulky silyl groups, the products are di-uranium, U(iv) bridging oxo and (anionic) nitride complexes, resulting from 1e(–) oxidations of two U(iii) centres. SQUID magnetometry supports the formal oxidation states of the reported complexes. Electrochemical studies show that the U(v) terminal oxo complex can be reduced and the [U(iv)O](–) anion was accessed via reduction with K/Hg, and structurally characterised. Both the nitride complexes display complex electrochemical behaviour but each exhibits a quasi-reversible oxidation at ca. –1.6 V vs. Fc(+/0). |
