abstract

  • A new synthesis of Th(II) complexes has been identified involving addition of simple MX salts (M = Li, Na, K; X = H, Cl, Me, N3) to Cp''3ThIII [Cp'' = [C5H3(SiMe3)2] in the presence of 18-crown-6 or 2.2.2-cryptand, forming [M(chelate)][Cp''3ThII] and Cp''3ThIVX. Cptet3ThIII (Cptet = C5Me4H) reacts with KH to form Cptet3ThIVH and the C-H bond activation product, [K(crypt)]{[Cptet2ThIVH[η1:η5-C5Me3H(CH2)]}.
