Influence of 1,2,4-Tri-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl Ligand on the Reactivity of the Thorium Bipyridyl Metallocene [η⁵-1,2,4-(Me₃C)₃C₅H₂]₂Th(bipy)].

ABSTRACT: The thorium bipyridyl metallocene (Cp^3tBu)₂Th(bipy) (1; Cp^3tBu = η⁵-1,2,4-(Me₃C)₃C₅H₂) shows a rich reactivity toward a series of small molecules. For example, complex 1 may act as a synthon for the (Cp^3tBu)₂Th(II) fragment as illustrated by its reactivity toward to CuI, hydrazine derivative (PhNH)₂, Ph₂E₂ (E = S, Se), elemental sulfur (S₈) and selenium (Se), organic azides, CS₂, and isothiocyanates. Moreover, in the presence of polar multiple bonds, such as those in ketones Ph₂CO and (CH₂)₅CO, aldehydes p-MePhCHO and p-ClPhCHO, sele
