Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Uranyl(VI) Complex Possessing Unsupported Unidentate Thiolate Ligands
journal contribution
posted on 2005-12-12, 00:00 authored by Shanmugaperumal Kannan, Charles L. Barnes, Paul B. DuvalThe synthesis and structural characterization of the first example
of a uranyl(VI) complex possessing unsupported unidentate thiolate
ligands, UO2(S-2,6-Cl2C6H3)2L2 (2b, L = N,N-diisobutylisopropylamide), are reported. Isolation of 2b as a stable mononuclear
complex is provided by the alkyl substituents of the organic amide
ligands, which offer enhanced solubility, electron-releasing properties, and steric protection to help saturate the uranyl(VI) coordination
sphere.
