Abstract
Green, crystalline Cp3UCHPMe3 has been synthesized by the reaction of Cp3UCl with Li[CH2]2PMe2 or CH2PMe3. Its crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The short UCH bond distance, 2.274(8) Å, and large UCP angle, 143.5(5)°, indicate uranium‐carbon multiple bond character. The 1J(13C1H) coupling constants within the CH group between uranium and phosphorus in Cp3UCHPPh2Me (95 Hz), Cp3UCHPMe2Ph (100 Hz), and Cp3UCHPPh2Me (113 Hz) are surprisingly small, but no agostic interaction UCHP can be derived from the structural data.
