Abstract

Green, crystalline Cp3UCHPMe3 has been synthesized by the reaction of Cp3UCl with Li[CH2]2PMe2 or CH2PMe3. Its crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The short UCH bond distance, 2.274(8) Å, and large UCP angle, 143.5(5)°, indicate uranium‐carbon multiple bond character. The 1J(13C1H) coupling constants within the CH group between uranium and phosphorus in Cp3UCHPPh2Me (95 Hz), Cp3UCHPMe2Ph (100 Hz), and Cp3UCHPPh2Me (113 Hz) are surprisingly small, but no agostic interaction UCHP can be derived from the structural data.
