Part I. Synthesis of Polyoxoanion Supported Organoactinides. Part Ii. Surface Oxygen Reactivity in Decavanadate

Part I. The MW(,5)O(,19)('3-) anions, M = Nb and Ta react with (C(,5)H(,5))(,3)- AcCl, Ac=Th and U, to form 2:1 polyoxoanion to actinide adducts. According to a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of (C(,5)H(,5))(,3)U- (NbW(,5)O(,19))(,2) (n-C(,4)H(,9))(,4)N (,5), IR spectroscopy, and ('17)O NMR spectros- copy, all four adducts contain MW(,5)O(,19)('3-) ligands which coordinate to the metal center as unidentate ligands through terminal OM oxygens. ('1)H(' )NMR and labeling studies were used to show that the actinide - oxygen bonds in these adducts are quite labile.
