A series of uranyl compounds with the redox-active iminoquinone ligand have been synthesized, and their electronic structures elucidated using multinuclear NMR, EPR, electronic absorption spectroscopies, SQUID magnetometry, and X-ray crystallography. Characterization and analysis of the iminoquinone (iq) complex, (iq)UO(OTf)THF (1-iq), the iminosemiquinone (isq) complex, (isq)UOTHF (2-isq), and the amidophenolate (ap) complex, [(ap)UOTHF][K(18-crown-6)(THF)](3-ap crown) show that reduction events are ligand-based, with the uranium center remaining in the hexavalent state. Reactivity of 2-isq with B-chlorocatecholborane or pivaloyl chloride leads to U-O bond scission and reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) concomitant with ligand oxidation along with organic byproducts. O isotopic labeling experiments along with IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy confirm that the organic byproducts contain oxygen atoms which originate from U-O bond activation.
已合成了一系列具有氧化还原活性亚氨基醌配体的铀化合物,并使用多核 NMR、EPR、电子吸收光谱、SQUID 磁强计和 X 射线晶体学对其电子结构进行了阐明。对亚氨基醌(iq)配合物(iq)UO(OTf)THF(1-iq)、亚氨基半醌(isq)配合物(isq)UOTHF(2-isq)和酰胺苯氧酸盐(ap)配合物[(ap)UOTHF][K(18-冠-6)(THF)](3-ap 冠)的表征和分析表明,还原事件是配体基的,铀中心保持六价态。2-isq 与 B-氯代儿茶硼烷或特戊酰氯的反应导致 U-O 键断裂和 U(VI)还原为 U(IV),同时伴随着配体氧化和有机副产物。O 同位素标记实验以及红外光谱、质谱和多核 NMR 光谱证实,有机副产物含有氧原子,这些氧原子来源于 U-O 键的活化。
