Reductive Silylation of the Uranyl Ion with Ph3SiOTf
The reaction of 2 equiv of Ph3SiOTf with UO2(dbm)(2)(THF) (dbm = OC(Ph)CHC(Ph)O) and UO2((Ar)acnac)(2) ((Ar)acnac = ArNC(Ph)CHC(Ph)O; Ar = 3,5-(t)Bu2C6H3) results in the formation of U(OSiPh3)(2)(dbm)(2)(OTf) (1) and [U(OSiPh3)2((Ar)acnac)(2)][OTf](2)), respectively, in good yield.
