Abstract

The first examples of inorganic nitrite complexes of the natural actinides are described, including the structures of the homoleptic thorium(IV) [PPh4]2[Th(NO2)6] and the uranyl(VI) [PPh4]2[UO2(NO2)4] complexes; the nitrite ligand can adopt two different coordination modes in the coordination sphere of the uranyl ion and is unstable towards reduction.
