The first thorium poly-carbene complexes [(Ph2P=S)(2)C](2)-Th(DME) (2) and [{[(Ph2P=S)(2)C](3)Th}Li-2(DME)](n) ( 3) have been prepared and structurally characterized. DFT calculations reveal that the Th=C bond is polarized toward the nucleophilic carbene carbon atom, which is further verified by the experimental observation that the Th=C bond shows a nucleophilic behavior with Ph2CO.
