The inverse-trans-influence in tetravalent lanthanide and actinide bis(carbene) complexes
Abstract
The inverse-trans-influence has been shown to operate in high oxidation state actinide complexes. Here, the authors report tetravalent cerium, uranium and thorium bis(carbene) complexes with trans C=M=C cores where experimental and theoretical data also suggest the presence of an inverse-trans-effect.
