Single crystal neutron diffraction bridging metal hydrides

The crystal structure of U(BHtf)if has been examined by single crystal x-ray (4b) and neutron diffraction techniques (4a). Much like the bonding in the well-known boron hydrides (11), this metal borohydride exhibits hydrogen bridge bonds that join the boron atom to the metal. In U(BHt+)i+j there are two tridentate and four...
