Actinides: Amido Complexes

Abstract This article reviews progress in actinide amido chemistry, highlighting the role of amido anions as constituents of robust supporting ligands and as reactive ligands. The synthesis, structures, and reactivity of homoleptic actinide complexes in oxidation states III–VI are initially reviewed. Reactivity developed using an ancillary ligand set composed of three bulky monodentate amido anions is then discussed, followed by the chemistry …
