Four-electron reduction chemistry using a uranium(iii) phosphido complex

Abstract

The first uranium(III) phosphido complex is reported. The reaction of (C5Me5)2UI(THF) with KP[(C6H2Me3-2,4,6)(SiMe3)] affords (C5Me5)2U[P(C6H2Me3-2,4,6)(SiMe3)](THF), 1. The reactivity of 1 was explored with two equivalents of N3SiMe3 and N3Ad, Ad = adamantyl, both of which produce U(VI) bis(imido) complexes via four-electron reduction of the azides.
