Hydrocarbyl complexes actinide

Several general review articles [19-41] dealing mostly with the synthesis of new actinide complexes confirm the broad and rapidly expanding scope of this field. Those reviews dealt with the structure, stability, and reactivates of complexes with cyclopentadienyl, dienyls (pentadienyl, cyclohexadienyl, indenyl, phospholyl), cyclooctatetraenyl, arene ligands, hydrocarbyls, and hydrides ligands. 

The synthesis of stable actinide complexes containing only alkyl, aryl, or alkenyl (hydrocarbyl) ligands has been an Important goal since the early 1940 s [5]. However, reactions such as eq.(l) are known to yield... 

The general properties of peralkylcyclopentadienyl ligands are surveyed in Chapter 22. Protebly the most reactive actinide hydrocarbyls prepared to date are stabilized by bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) (Cp ) co-ligation. These complexes can, in general, be prepared as shown below for a wide range of R and R groups [43-45] ...
