Synthesis and characterization of a tetrathiafulvalene-salphen actinide complex

Dalton Trans. 2013 May 21;42(19):6716-9. doi: 10.1039/c3dt50698c.

Abstract

A new tetrathiafulvalene-salphen uranyl complex has been prepared. The system was designed to study the electronic coupling between actinides and a redox active ligand framework. Theoretical and experimental methods--including DFT calculations, single crystal X-ray analysis, cyclic voltammetry, NMR and IR spectroscopies--were used to characterize this new uranyl complex.
