The uranium(iii) alkyl, Tp*2UCH2Ph (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), activates C–F bonds on a variety of fluorinated substrates. From these reactions two new uranium containing products, Tp*2UF and Tp*2UF2, were isolated and characterized by 1H, 13C, 11B NMR, infrared and electronic absorption spectroscopies, as well as X-ray crystallography. Formation of the uranium(iii) or uranium(iv) product was found to be substrate dependent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
