Triamidoamine thorium-arsenic complexes with parent arsenide, arsinidiide and arsenido structural motifs

Abstract

Advances in actinide chemistry have led to the isolation of a range of uranium–ligand multiple bonds, but analogous thorium complexes are rare. Here, the authors prepare thorium–arsenic complexes that are stabilized by bulky triamidoamine ligands and exhibit ThAsH2, ThAs(H)K, ThAs(H)Th and ThAsTh linkages.
