“…The resulting Me 3 SnX (X = Cl, Br, I) byproduct is easily removed under reduced pressure, and the uranium(V) fluoride ( 4 ) is obtained in excellent yields (79–98 %) following work up. If desired, the Me 3 SnX (X = Cl, Br, I) can be subsequently converted back into Me 3 SnF by reaction with aqueous KF solution , , . When the reactions are monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy in [D 6 ]benzene, resonances corresponding to the uranium(V) imido halide complex ( 4 ), in addition to singlets at δ = 0.29, 0.40, and 0.48, are observed for Me 3 SnX (X = Cl, Br, and I), respectively, consistent with a halide exchange reaction .…”
