Reactivity of Multimetallic Thorium Nitrides Generated by Reduction of Thorium Azides

Fang-Che Hsueh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the complex compounds formed by thorium nitrides and azide/nitride thorium complexes. The results show that stable multimetallic azide/nitride thorium complexes can be generated by reducing thorium azide precursors. These complexes are stable in solution, but their synthesis requires careful control of reaction conditions, and different anions result in structural differences. Reactivity studies demonstrate the ability of thorium nitrides to cleave CO in ambient conditions, yielding CN-.

Ring-opening of a thorium cyclopropenyl complex generates a transient thorium-bound carbene

Greggory T. Kent et al.

Summary: The reaction of [Cp3ThCl] with in situ generated 1-lithium-3,3-diphenylcyclopropene leads to the formation of [Cp3Th(3,3-diphenylcyclopropenyl)] (1), with good yields. Thermolysis of 1 results in isomerization to the ring-opened product, [Cp3Th(3-phenyl-1H-inden-1-yl)] (3) via a hypothesized carbene intermediate. This transformation represents a new reactivity mode of 3,3-diphenylcyclopropene with actinides, enhancing its utility as a carbene source. A combined DFT and C-13(H-1) NMR analysis of 1 reveals a spin-orbit induced downfield shift at C-alpha due to the involvement of 5f orbitals in the Th-C bond.

Vanadium complexes with N-heterocyclic vinylidene ligands

Bastiaan Kooij et al.

Summary: This study reports the preparation and structural characterization of vanadium complexes with N-heterocyclic vinylidene ligands, enabled by utilizing diazoolefins as ligand precursors. Structural and theoretical analysis show that N-heterocyclic vinylidenes can act as strong 6e(-) donor ligands, forming strong metal-carbon interactions.

Isolation and characterization of diazoolefins

Paul Varava et al.

Summary: Diazoolefins are highly reactive compounds that rapidly lose dinitrogen, and are observed to form in reactions of N-heterocyclic olefins with nitrous oxide. They display resonance stabilization, strong ylidic character, and good thermal stability, despite the presence of terminal N-2 groups. Diazoolefins can bind metal complexes without liberating dinitrogen and are strong electron donors, while also undergoing reactions involving the N-2 group.

Insights into the naphthalenide-driven synthesis and reactivity of zerovalent iron nanoparticles

Andreas Reiss et al.

Summary: The chemical and thermal stability of alkali metal naphthalenides as powerful reducing agents was examined, with [LiNaph] solutions in THF at low temperature found to be most stable and used to prepare reactive zerovalent iron nanoparticles. The decomposition may be related to a reductive polymerization of the solvent. The reactive Fe(0) nanoparticles obtained via [LiNaph]-driven reduction in liquid phase can be instantaneously reacted to give new compounds without remains of the initial reduction.

Actinide arene-metalates: ion pairing effects on the electronic structure of unsupported uranium-arenide sandwich complexes

Jesse Murillo et al.

Summary: The addition of [UI2(THF)(3)(mu-OMe)](2).THF (2.THF) to THF solutions results in the formation of two heteroleptic dimeric complexes, which become insoluble in solvents and decompose after crystallization. Structural analysis reveals similarities between the two complexes, but differences in the potassium-arenide ion pairing have significant effects on their electronic characteristics.

Electrochemical studies of tris(cyclopentadienyl)thorium and uranium complexes in the+2,+3, and+4 oxidation states

Justin C. Wedal et al.

Summary: Electrochemical measurements were conducted on tris(cyclopentadienyl)thorium and uranium compounds in different oxidation states with various ligands. The reduction potentials of uranium and thorium complexes were found to correlate with the electron donating abilities of the cyclopentadienyl ligand. Isolated Th(ii) complexes showed surprising similarity in their redox behavior with Th(iii)/Th(ii) and Th(iv)/Th(iii) couples in Cp ''-ligated complexes, indicating the possibility of preparing Th(ii) complexes from Th(iv) precursors.
