Small molecule activation at uranium coordination complexes: control of reactivity via molecular architecture

Abstract: Electron-rich uranium coordination complexes display a pronounced reactivity toward small molecules. In this Feature article, the exciting chemistry of trivalent uranium ions coordinated to classic Werner-type ligand environments is reviewed. Three fundamentally important reactions of the [(((R)ArO)3tacn)U]-system are presented that result in alkane coordination, CO/CO2 activation, and nitrogen atom-transfer chemistry.

“…[29] The measured room-temperature magnetic moment (m eff = 3.44 m B at 300 K) is in the range of the values previously reported for mononuclear U IV complexes (2.5-3.55 m B ). [28,30] The observed low-temperature field dependency of the magnetization shows a small response of less than 0.9 m B , which is typical for U IV compounds ( Figure S6 in the Supporting Information). [31] These magnetic data provide clear evidence that complex 3 contains only U IV ions.…”

“…Forc omparison, we re-measured data for 1U, [9,15,21] and [U(N'') 3 (I)], [18] giving data consistent with literature values.I mportantly, 1U has asimilar low-temperature magnetization profile to 3U,while that of the non-Kramers [U(N'') 3 (I)] fails to saturate up to 7T . Further support for the uranium(III) oxidation state of 3U comes from low temperature (20 K) EPR spectroscopy at 9.5 GHz (Figure 2, right), where at ypical uranium(III) spectrum [22] is observed from ap owdered sample with effective g-values of g = 4.65, 1.33, and 0.89 arising from the ground Kramers doublet. Thenon-Kramers uranium(IV) ion would be expected to be EPR-silent under these conditions.…”

“…The oxygen transfer to a metal center with the formation of the O=M(CO) moiety may be driven by the ancillary ligands, as recently shown in the case of the U III complex. 83,84,95, 96 In the η 1 -O complex (( Ad ArO) 3 tacnU III )=O=C•-O − , depending on the steric hindrance of the ligand around the U center, a further reaction can occur. By replacing the adamantane ligand (Ad) by the less bulky tert-butyl (t-Bu), an initial formation of a CO 2 adduct occurs.…”
