Arene-ligated heteroleptic terphenolate complexes of thorium†
Abstract
Bulky terphenolate ligands allow the synthesis of rare heteroleptic thorium chloride, and borohydride complexes; in the absence of donor solvents, the terphenolate ligands protect the metal ions through neutral Th–η6-arene interactions in a thorium bis(arene) sandwich motif.
