Tóm tắt
Both the acceptedly oligomeric complex [(C5H5)3U(μ-NCBH3)]n (1) and its hitherto unknown, appreciably more soluble and volatile homologue, [(CH3C5H4)3U(μ-NCBH3)]n (2), display NIR/VIS spectra typical of trigonal bipyramidal (tbp) metal coordination in the solid state, but of pseudotetrahedral (ψ-Td) coordination e.g. in CH2CI2 and C6H5CH3 solution. The 1H NMR spectra of 2 in these non coordinating solvents can be best explained in terms of temperature dependent equilibria involving the two rapidly interconverting ψ-Td-isomers (CH3C5H4)3U(η3-H3BCN) and (CH3C5H4)3UNCBH3. A reversible colour change: green ⇋ brown at 130-150 °C also suggests the facile rupture of U-H and U-N bonds, respectively, in thermally excited, polycrystalline (2).
