Synthesis of Trapen Ligand-Based U(IV) and Th(IV) 2-Phosphaethynolate Complexes and Comparison of Covalency with Corresponding Ti(IV) Analogues.

The involvement of the 2-phosphaethynolate anion species with ambident nucleophilic properties serves as an essential protocol for synthesizing oxygen-bound or phosphorus-bound complexes. This work mainly describes the synthesis and characterization of U, Th, and Ti phosphaethynolate complexes featuring a preferential O-coordination fashion. Among these complexes, the first examples of a Ti(IV)-OCP complex 3A, Th(IV)-OCP complex 3B, and U(IV)-OCP complex 3C were assembled by a salt metathesis reaction between M(TrapenTMS)(Cl) (M = Ti, Th, U) and NaOCP(dioxane)2.5 and were all crystallographically characterized. The structural similarity of this series of phosphaethynolate complexes allows us to compare the bonding properties of d- and f-block elements in the corresponding compounds. The well-established density functional theory (DFT) computational method was employed to explore the electronic structures and covalency in M-O bonding, and the results showed a consistent pattern. The calculation result showed that 2-phosphaethynolate complexes exhibited the covalency trend of U-O > Th-O > Ti-O due to the involvement of 5f orbitals.
