Reaction of the uranium(iii) metallocenium salt [(CpiPr4)2U][B(C6F5)4] with tert-butyl isocyanide (tBuNC) yielded the dicationic uranium(iv) complex [(CpiPr4)2U(CNtBu)4][B(C6F5)4]2 (1), which displays a linear metallocene geometry. Use of crude mixtures of [(CpiPr4)2U][B(C6F5)4], which contain a soluble source of iodide, led instead to isolation of the monocationic uranium(iv) iodide complex [(CpiPr4)2U(I)(CNtBu)2][B(C6F5)4] (2). Adduct formation with no change in oxidation state was observed upon addition of tBuNC to the neutral uranium(iii) species (CpiPr4)2UI, resulting in isolation of (CpiPr4)2U(I)(CNtBu) (3). X-ray crystallographic and IR spectroscopic studies both showed effects ascribed to the presence of multiple strongly donating isocyanide ligands in 1.
铀(III)茂金属盐[(CpiPr4)2U][B(C6F5)4]与叔丁基异腈(tBuNC)反应生成了二价铀(IV)配合物[(CpiPr4)2U(CNtBu)4][B(C6F5)4]2(1),其呈现出线性茂金属几何结构。使用含有可溶性碘源的[(CpiPr4)2U][B(C6F5)4]粗混合物,反而得到了单价铀(IV)碘配合物[(CpiPr4)2U(I)(CNtBu)2][B(C6F5)4](2)。向中性铀(III)物种(CpiPr4)2UI中加入tBuNC时,观察到形成了加合物且氧化态不变,从而得到了(CpiPr4)2U(I)(CNtBu)(3)。X射线晶体学和红外光谱研究均表明,1中多个强给电子异腈配体的存在产生了影响。
