Synthesis and Characterization of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Uranyl Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The first actinide complexes of the pyridine dipyrrolide (PDP) ligand class, (^MesPDP^Ph)UO₂(THF) and (^Cl2PhPDP^Ph)UO₂(THF), are reported as the U^VI uranyl adducts of the bulky aryl substituted pincers (^MesPDP^Ph)^2- and (^Cl2PhPDP^Ph)^2- (derived from 2,6-bis(5-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine (H₂^MesPDP^Ph, Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), and 2,6-bis(5-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine (H₂^Cl2PhPDP^Ph, Cl₂Ph = 2,6-dichlorophenyl), respectively). Following the in situ deprotonation of the proligand with lithium hexamethyldisilazi
