Uranyl bis-iminophosphorane complexes with in- and out-of-plane equatorial coordination†
Abstract
The new bis-iminophosphorane complexes [UO2Cl{η3-CH(Ph2PNSiMe3)2}(thf)]
(1) and [UO2Cl{η3-N(Ph2PNSiMe3)2}(thf)]
(2) are synthesised from the reaction of [UO2Cl2(thf)3] with Na[CH(Ph2PNSiMe3)2]
(NaI) and Na[N(Ph2PNSiMe3)2]
(NaII), respectively. Both 1 and 2 form dinuclear complexes in the absence of a coordinating
