Abstract

Reduction of IU(NHAr<sup>iPr6</sup>)<sub>2</sub> (Ar<sup>iPr6</sup> = 2,6-(2,4,6-<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>) results in a rare example of a U(II) complex, U(NHAr<sup>iPr6</sup>)<sub>2</sub>, and the first example that is a neutral species. Here, we show spectroscopic and magnetic studies that suggest a 5f<sup>4</sup>6d<sup>0</sup> valence electronic configuration for uranium, along with characterization of related U(III) complexes.
