Stabilisation and characterisation of a trinuclear uranyl complex by ligand-radical formation
Abstract
(TPymT)] 4.25THF (1). Structural and electronic characterisation reveals delocalisation of the radical across the bridging ligand and that the stability of the complex is entirely dependent on radical formation, with oxidation resulting in uranyl decomplexation. This study highlights the interplay between radical chemistry and actinide complexes and opens up new avenues for further research in this area.
