A Thorium(IV) metallacyclopropyne complex.

ABSTRACT: Actinide metallacyclic chemistry  has been of interest due to its involvement  in various chemical processes. However, fundamental understanding on the key species, actinide metallacyclic complexes, is limited to metallacyclopropenes whereas little is known about the actinide metallacyclopropynes presumably due to their unusual high reactivity. Herein, we report the preparation of a thorium metallacyclopropyne complex (η²-C ≡ C)ThCl₃^- in the gas phase by using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and it is generated via a single-ligand strategy through sequential losses of CO₂ and HCl from the monopropynoate precursor (HC ≡ CCO₂)ThCl₄^- upon collision-induced dissociation. Alternatively, the dual-ligand strat
