Abstract

Reaction of Cp₃AnCl complexes (Cp = η⁵- C₅H₅; An = Th, U) and (CH₃C₅H₄)₃ThCl with CpM(CO)₂Na (M = Fe, Ru) yields the corresponding metal-metal bonded compounds Cp₃An-M(Cp)(CO)₂ and (CH₃C₅H₄)₃Th-M(Cp)(CO)₂. Electron-releasing tendencies follow the order Cp₃U- > Cp₃Th- ≫ [(CH₃)₅C₅]₂Th(X)-(X = Cl, I, CH₃). Evidence for hindered rotation about the metal-metal bonds and facile cleavage by alcohols and ketones is presented.
