Structurally characterised U−Sb bonds are rare. Here, the synthesis and characterisation of [U(TrenDMBS){Sb(H)C(H)(SiMe3)2}] (5, TrenDMBS=N(CH2CH2NSiMe2But)3) and [{U(TrenTIPS)}2{Sb3(μ6‐Li)(μ‐Li[THF]2)3Sb3}] (6, TrenTIPS=N(CH2CH2NSiPrⁱ3)3) are reported. Complex 5 is an unprecedented primary stibinide actinide complex and 6 can be formulated as cont...
We report the synthesis and characterisation of the compounds [An(TrenDMBS){Pn(SiMe3)2}] and [An(TrenTIPS){Pn(SiMe3)2}] [TrenDMBS = N(CH2CH2NSiMe2But)3, An = U, Pn = P, As, Sb, Bi; An = Th, Pn = P, As; TrenTIPS = N(CH2CH2NSiPri3)3, An = U, Pn = P, As, Sb; An = Th, Pn = P, As, Sb]. The U-Sb and Th-Sb moieties are unprecedented examples of any kind o...

Reaction of [U(TrenTIPS)(PH2)] (1, TrenTIPS = N(CH2CH2NSiPri3)3) with C6H5CH2K and [U(TrenTIPS)(THF)][BPh4] (2) afforded a rare diuranium-parent-phosphinidiide complex [{U(TrenTIPS)}2(μ-PH)] (3). Treatment of 3 with C6H5CH2K and two equivalents of benzo-15-crown-5 ether (B15C5) gave the diuranium-μ-phosphido complex [{U(TrenTIPS)}2(μ-P)][K(B15C5)2]...

The reaction of [Zr(TrenDMBS)(Cl)] [Zr1, TrenDMBS = N(CH2CH2NSiMe2But)3] with NaPH2 gave the terminal parent phosphanide complex [Zr(TrenDMBS)(PH2)] [Zr2, Zr-P = 2.685(2) Å]. Treatment of Zr2 with one equivalent of KCH2C6H5 and two equivalents of benzo-15-crown-5 ether (B15C5) afforded an unprecedented example outside of matrix isolation of a struc...

The two-coordinate ring-expanded N-heterocyclic carbene copper(I) complexes [Cu(RE-NHC)(2)](+) (RE-NHC = 6-Mes, 7-o-Tol, 7-Mes) have been prepared and shown to be effective catalysts under neat conditions for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkynes and azides. In contrast, the cationic diamidocarbene analogue [Cu(6-MesDAC)(2)](+) and the neutral s...
