Abstract

The uranium(IV)/uranium(IV) μ-sulfide complex [{(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U}(2)(μ-S)] reacts with CS(2) to form the trithiocarbonate-bridged complex [{(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U}(2)(μ-κ(2):κ(2)-CS(3))]. The trithiocarbonate complex can alternatively be formed in low yields from low-valent [(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U(DME)] through the reductive cleavage of CS(2).
