N2 - Syntheses of rare examples of U(V) methyl and U(IV) ylide complexes are reported. Reaction of the previously reported U(IV) imido complex [(C 5Me 5) 2U(py)(═NMes)] (py = pyridine, and Mes = 2,4,6-Me 3C 6H 2) with CuI forms the U(V) complex [(C 5Me 5) 2U(I)(═NMes)]. Reaction of the iodo complex with MgMe 2 produces the methyl complex [(C 5Me 5) 2U(CH 3)(═NMes)]. The methyl complex was reacted with CH 2PPh 3, surprisingly forming [(C 5Me 5) 2U(CH 2PPh 3)(═NMes)], a U(IV) ylide. This is formed from a disproportionation of a transient U(V) carbene, leading to the U(IV) ylide and a U(VI) bis(imido) complex, [(C 5Me 5) 2U(═NMes) 2]. These complexes were characterized using spectroscopic methods (nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and ultraviolet-visible-nean infrared), SQUID magnetometry, and X-ray crystallography, and density functional theory calculations are used to compare the U(V) methyl with the targeted U(V) carbene ligands.
