Abstract
- Homoleptic σ‐bonded uranium–alkyl complexes have been a synthetic target since the Manhattan Project. The current study describes the synthesis and characterization of several unprecedented uranium–methyl complexes. Amongst these complexes, the first example of a homoleptic uranium–alkyl dimer, [Li(THF)4]2[U2(CH3)10], as well as a seven‐coordinate uranium–methyl monomer, {Li(OEt2)Li(OEt2)2UMe7Li}n were both crystallographically identified. The diversity of complexes reported herein provides critical insight into the structural diversity, electronic structure and bonding in uranium–alkyl chemistry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
