Thorium allyl complexes

Allyl Complexes. Allyl complexes of thorium have been known since the 1960s and are usually stabilized by cyclopentadienyl ligands. AEyl complexes can be accessed via the interaction of a thorium haUde and an aHyl grignard. This synthetic method was utilized to obtain a rare example of a naked aHyl complex, Th(Tj -C2H )4 [144564-74-9] which decomposes at 0°C. This complex, when supported on dehydroxylated y-alumina, is an outstanding heterogeneous catalyst for arene hydrogenation and rivals the most active platinum metal catalysts in activity (17,18).

The tetraallylic complexes of thorium and uranium can be isolated as red sohds and are stable to 0° and — 20°C, respectively, whereas the uranium homoalkyls defy isolation at temperatures as low as — 80°C. The greater stability of the thorium complex has been attributed partially to the great instability of Th(III) as compared with U(III) (96). The tc mode of bonding and the resultant increase in coordination number to eight of the allyl complexes significantly increases their thermal stability relative to the uranium homoalkyls. 

Tetrakis(allyl) complexes of thorium and uranium have been synthesized via the addition of allyl Grignard to the metal tetrachloride (equation 43). Alkyl-substituted allyl...

The reaction of thorium and uranium triscyclopentadienide chloride with Grignard and lithium reagents has also led to a variety of thermally stable alkyls, aryls and allyls. These complexes will be discussed in a later part of this review.
