Abstract: | The reaction of ((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (III)] ( 1) with 4,4'-di- tert-butylbenzophenone affords a unique isolable U(IV) ketyl radical species ((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OC* (t-Bu)Ph 2)] (2) supported by XRD data, magnetization measurements, and DFT calculations. Isolation and full characterization of the corresponding diphenyl methoxide complex ((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OCH ( t-Bu )Ph 2)] (3) is also presented. The one-electron reduction of benzophenone by ((Ad)ArO) 3tacn)U (III)] (4) leads to a purple U(IV) ketyl radical intermediate ((Ad)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OC*Ph 2)] (5). This species is highly reactive, and attempts at isolation were unsuccessful and resulted in methoxide complex ((Ad)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OCHPh 2)] (6) from H abstraction and dinuclear para-coupled complex ((Ad)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OCPhPhCPh 2O)U (IV)((Ad)ArO) 3tacn)] (7). |
