The role of 5f-orbital participation in unexpected inversion of the σ-bond metathesis reactivity trend of triamidoamine thorium(iv) and uranium(iv) alkyls
We report on the role of 5f-orbital participation in the unexpected inversion of the σ-bond metathesis reactivity trend of triamidoamine thorium(IV) and uranium(IV) alkyls. Reaction of KCH2Ph with [U(TrenTIPS)(I)] [2a, TrenTIPS = N(CH2CH2NSiPri3)33−] gave the cyclometallate [U{N(CH2CH2NSiPri3)2(CH2C...
