2653correction was applied (see Table I). Atomic scattering factors of Doyle and Turnerg were used, and anomalous scattering corrections'O were applied.Three-dimensional Patterson maps indicated the positions of the Mo atoms. Subsequent least-squares refinements and difference Fourier maps revealed all of the nonhydrogen atoms. Most of the hydrogen atom peaks were not resolved in the Fourier maps, and none were included in the least-squares refinements. All of the atoms with the exception of the carbon atoms in isomer A were assigned anisotropic thermal parameters in the final refinements. Because of the poor resolution of the ethyl groups in the A isomer, restraints were imposed on the geometry of the triethylphosphine groups by a procedure suggested by Waser," and described in a previous paper.12For the A isomer, the C-C and P-C bond distances were restrained to 1.54 and 1.82 A, respectively. The full-matrix least-squares program minimizes the function E w ( A F )~/ X W F~. After the last cycle of refinement, the largest shift of the parameter was 0.03 and 0.01 of its esd for the A and B isomer, respectively. R factors and other statistical results of the least-squares refinement are given in Table I. Contract No. W-7405-Eng-48. J.D.A. thanks the Equal Opportunity Program at UCB for a fellowship.

Acta Crystallogr., Sect. A 1968, A 2 4 390. (IO) Cromer, D. T.; Liberman, D.The title compounds have keen prepared by the reaction between U(C5MeS)2C12 and pyrazole (C3H4N2), or sodium pyrazolate (NaC3H3N2), in THF. The new compounds are characterized by their infrared, 'H NMR visible-near-IR, and mass spectra and by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction (monochromatic Mo Ka radiation). The molecular structure of U(C5Me5)2C12(C3H4N2) consists of discrete mononuclear units at positions of mm (C,) symmetry. The U4+ ion is coordinated by two a5-pentamethylcyclopentadienide rings, two chloride ions, and one nitrogen atom from the neutral pyrazole ring, for a total coordination number of 9. Red-brown crystals from toluene conform to space group Cmcm with a = 13.697 (4) A, b = 11.496 (2) A, c = 15.555 (2) A, and four molecules per unit cell. For the 924 independent reflections with F2 > 3 u ( p ) , the final weighted and unweighted R factors are 3.48 and 2.4556, respectively. The average U-C bond distance is 2.74 (2) A, the U-N bond distance is 2.607 (8) A, and the U-C1 distance is 2.696 (2) A. This compound exhibits Curie-Weiss behavior with C = 1.46,8 = 43.3 K, and pa (from the slope of 1/x vs. fl = 3.24 pB.
