Despite there being numerous examples of f-element compounds supported by cyclopentadienyl, arene, cycloheptatrienyl, and cyclooctatetraenyl ligands (C5-8 ), cyclobutadienyl (C4 ) complexes remain exceedingly rare. Here, we report that reaction of [Li2 {C4 (SiMe3 )4 }(THF)2 ] (1) with [U(BH4 )3 (THF)2 ] (2) gives the pianostool complex [U{C4 (SiMe3 )4 }(BH4 )3 ][Li(THF)4 ] (3), where use of a borohydride and preformed C4 -unit circumvents difficulties in product isolation and closing a C4 -ring at uranium. Complex 3 is an unprecedented example of an f-element half-sandwich cyclobutadienyl complex, and it is only the second example of an actinide-cyclobutadienyl complex, the other being an inverse-sandwich. The U-C distances are short (av. 2.513 Å), reflecting the formal 2- charge of the C4 -unit, and the SiMe3 groups are displaced from the C4 -plane, which we propose maximises U-C4 orbital overlap. DFT calculations identify two quasi-degenerate U-C4 π-bonds utilising the ψ2 and ψ3 molecular orbitals of the C4 -unit, but the potential δ-bond using the ψ4 orbital is vacant.

f元素半三明治复合物:四硅烷基环丁二烯基铀(IV)-三(四氢硼酸根)阴离子钢琴凳复合物。

尽管存在许多由环戊二烯基,芳烃,环庚三烯基和环辛三烯基配体(C5-8)负载的f元素化合物的例子,但环丁二烯基(C4)络合物仍然极为罕见。在这里,我们报道[Li2 {C4(SiMe3)4}(THF)2](1)与[U(BH4)3(THF)2](2)的反应产生了钢琴凳配合物[U {C4(SiMe3) 4}(BH4)3] [Li(THF)4](3),其中使用硼氢化物和预先形成的C4-单元可避免在铀中分离产品和封闭C4环的困难。配合物3是f-元素半夹心环丁二烯基络合物的前所未有的例子,并且仅是an系元素-环丁二烯基络合物的第二个例子,另一个是反夹心的。UC距离很短(平均2.513Å),反映了C4-单元的形式2电荷,并且SiMe3基团从C4平面移开,我们建议最大化U-C4轨道重叠。DFT计算使用C4单元的ψ2和ψ3分子轨道确定了两个准简并U-C4π键,但是使用ψ4轨道的潜在δ键是空的。
