摘要
The unusual chemistry obtainable from sterically crowded (C5R5)(3)M complexes has been explored with M = U and (C5Me4SiMe3)(1), a ligand that has independently provided unexpected uranium chemistry. (C5Me4SiMe3)(2)UMe2. (1), is reduced by potassium to generate the "ate" salt (C5Me4SiMe3)(2)UMe2K (2), which reacts with [HNEt3][BPh4] to yield the cationic species [(C5Me4SiMe3)(2)U][BPh4] (3). KC5Me4SiMe3 reacts with 3 in benzene to form (C5Me4SiMe3)(3)U, (4). The structure of 4 shows that the displacement of the methyl groups from the cyclopentadienyl ring planes, a useful indicator of steric crowding, is the largest ever observed in a (C5R5)(3)M complex. The reactivity of 4 is consistent with this structural indicator in that it engages in THF ring opening to form (C5Me4SiMe3)(2)UO[(CH2)(4)(C5Me4SiMe3)](THF).
