Realization of an Elusive U(III)-Imido Complex

Abstract

Reduction of Cp*(TrippTerN)UI with KC8 generates (KCp*(TrippTerN)UI)2, the first example of a trivalent uranium imido, a pre-viously elusive species, which are commonly unstable. Experimental and computational results indicate that the K+ coordina-tion is responsible for this isolable U(III)-monoimido complex.
