UIII-Induced Reductive Co-Coupling of NO and CO to Form UIV Cyanate and Oxo Derivates

摘要

CO and NO give NCO and O! Sequential treatment of [U(η-C₈H₆{SiiPr₃-1,4}₂)(η-Cp*)] with CO followed by NO (or vice versa) affords a mixture of the bridging cyanate complex [{U(η-C₈H₆{SiiPr₃-1,4}₂)(η-Cp*)}₂(μ-OCN)₂] and the bridging oxo complex [{U(η-C₈H₆{SiiPr₃-1,4}₂)(η-Cp*)}₂(μ-O)], both of which have been structurally characterised (see scheme).
