Uranium(iii) and thorium(iv) alkyl complexes as potential starting materials.

چکیده
The synthesis and characterisation of a rare U(iii) alkyl complex, U[η4-Me2NC(H)C6H5]3, using the dimethylbenzylamine (DMBA) ligand has been accomplished. While attempting to prepare the U(iv) compound, reduction to the U(iii) complex occurred. In the analogous Th(iv) system, C-H bond activation of a methyl group of one dimethylamine was observed yielding Th[η4-Me2NC(H)C6H5]2[η5-(CH2)MeNC(H)C6H5] with a dianionic DMBA ligand. The utility of these complexes as starting materials has been analyzed using a bulky dithiocarboxylate ligand to yield tetravalent actinide species.

Synthesis and Studies of Spectral and Thermal Properties of Some Mixed Ligand Complexes of Thorium(IV) and Dioxouranium(VI) With Semicarbazones as Primary Ligand and Sulfoxide as Secondary Ligand
The present work describes the studies on the coordination behaviour of 4[N-(benzalidene) amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (BAAPS) (I), 4[N-(furfural)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (FFAAPS) (II) and 4[N-(cinnamalidene)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (CAAPS) (III) in presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) towards Th4+ and UO22+ salts. All the complexes were isolate...
متن کاملConcomitant Carboxylate and Oxalate Formation From the Activation of CO2 by a Thorium(III) Complex
Improving our comprehension of diverse CO2 activation pathways is of vital importance for the widespread future utilization of this abundant greenhouse gas. CO2 activation by uranium(III) complexes is now relatively well understood, with oxo/carbonate formation predominating as CO2 is readily reduced to CO, but isolated thorium(III) CO2 activation is unprecedented. We show that the thorium(III)...
متن کاملExtractive Properties of Tri-n-octylphosphine Oxide Towards Thorium (IV) and Europium (III) Ions in Aqueous Nitrate Media
Phosphoryl containing ligand tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in dichloromethane has been used as an extracting agent for tetravalent thorium and trivalent europium ions from their 1 M sodium nitrates. The equilibrium data reveal that both ions are extracted as the complexes at 1:3 metal/ligand ratio. The values of conditional extraction equilibrium constant (Kex) show the superior extract...
متن کاملThorium–phosphorus triamidoamine complexes containing Th–P single- and multiple-bond interactions
Despite the burgeoning field of uranium-ligand multiple bonds, analogous complexes involving other actinides remain scarce. For thorium, under ambient conditions only a few multiple bonds to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium and tellurium are reported, and no multiple bonds to phosphorus are known, reflecting a general paucity of synthetic methodologies and also problems associated wit...
متن کاملConvenient access to the anhydrous thorium tetrachloride complexes ThCl(4)(DME)(2), ThCl(4)(1,4-dioxane)(2) and ThCl(4)(THF)(3.5) using commercially available and inexpensive starting materials.
Anhydrous thorium tetrachloride complexes ThCl(4)(DME)(2), ThCl(4)(1,4-dioxane)(2), and ThCl(4)(THF)(3.5) have been easily accessed from inexpensive, commercially available reagents under mild conditions and serve as excellent precursors to a variety of thorium(iv) halide, alkoxide, amide and organometallic compounds.
