Single‐Electron Uranyl Reduction by a Rare‐Earth Cation

Abstract

Reducing the irreducible: Incorporation of a lanthanide cation into the vacant coordination pocket of a uranyl Pacman complex results in single electron reduction to form stable pentavalent uranyl–rare-earth complexes with uranyl–oxo–rare-earth bonds (see scheme; py=pyridine, R=SiMe3).
