Intra- and intermolecular interception of a photochemically generated terminal uranium nitride.

ABSTRACT: The photochemically generated synthesis of a terminal uranium nitride species is here reported and an examination of its intra- and intermolecular chemistry is presented. Treatment of the U(iii) complex L^ArUI(DME) ((L^Ar)^2- = 2,2''-bis(Dippanilide)-p-terphenyl; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with LiNIm^Dipp ((NIm^Dipp)^- = 1,3-bis(Dipp)-imidazolin-2-iminato) generates the sterically congested 3N-coordinate compound L^ArU(NIm^Dipp) (1). Complex 1 reacts with 1 equiv. of Ph₃CN₃ to give the U(iv) azide L^ArU(N₃)(NIm^Dipp) (2). Structural analysis of 2 reveals inequivalent N_α-N_β > N_β-N_γ
