Abstract:Uranium nitrides play important roles in dinitrogen activation and functionalization and in nuclear power chemistry, but the synthesis and isolation of mono-uranium molecular nitrides remains a challenge due to their high reactivity. Here, we report the first example of transition metal (TM)-capped mono-U(VI) nitride complexes, which was generated by the photolysis of azide-bridged U(IV)-TM (TM = Rh, Ir) precursors. The U(V) nitride intermediates with bridged azide ligands were isolated successfully by careful… Show more
