Abstract

The reaction of M[η⁵-(CH₃)₅C₅] ₂(CH₃)₂ and M[η⁵-(CH₃)₅C₅] ₂(CD₃)₂ compounds, M = Th and ∪, with partially dehydroxylated and nearly completely dehydroxylated alumina yields methane via protolysis by surface OH, ring H atom abstraction, and elimination within the M(CH₃)₂ groups. The latter pathway is proposed on the basis of chemical evidence to result in alumina-stabilized actinide alkylidenes.
