ABSTRACT: We report the preparation of a range of alkali metal uranyl(VI) tri-bis(silyl)amide complexes [{M(THF)x}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] (1M) (N″ = {N(SiMe3)2}−, M = Li, Na, x = 2; M = K, x = 3; M = K, Rb, Cs, x = 0) containing electrostatic alkali metal uranyl-oxo interactions. Reaction of 1M with 2,2,2-cryptand or 2 equiv of the appropriate crown ether resulted in the isolation of the separated ion pair species [U(O)2(N″)3][M(2,2,2-cryptand)] (3M, M = Li−Cs) and [U(O)2(N″)3][M(crown)2] (4M, M = Li, crown = 12-crown4 ether; M = Na−Cs, crown = 15-crown-5 ether). A combination of crystallographic studies and IR, Raman and UV−vis spectroscopies has revealed that the 1M series adopts contact ion pair motifs in the solid state where the alkali metal caps one of the uranyl-oxo groups. Upon dissolution in THF solution, this contact is lost, and instead, separated ion pair motifs are observed, which is confirmed by the isolation of [U(O)2(N″)3][M(THF)n] (2M) (M = Li, n = 4; M = Na, K, n = 6). The compounds have been characterized by single crystal Xray diffraction, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR, Raman, and UV−vis spectroscopies, and elemental analyses.

INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been burgeoning interest in nonaqueous uranium chemistry,1,2 and while recently reported examples of isolable uranium(II) compounds3,4 have extended the range of synthetically accessible low oxidation states for uranium, the +6 oxidation state,5 in particular the uranyl(VI) [U(O)2]2+ moiety, continues to dominate the field of uranium chemistry.6−8 In [U(O)2(X)n]2−n complexes (X = generic monoanionic ligand), the oxo-ligands are mutually trans, which contrasts to the cis-dioxo situation usually found in analogous transition metal complexes, and this is ascribed to the inverse trans-influence (ITI).8−13 This trans-dioxo arrangement leads to other ligands exclusively occupying equatorial positions. Since salt elimination is the most popular strategy for preparing uranyl complexes, halides and salts, e.g., [U(O)2(Cl)2(THF)2] and [U(O) 2(OTf) 2], are commonly employed starting materials.2,14 However, in situations where salt elimination reactions would be problematic, for example, where alkyls and amides could induce reduction at uranyl(VI) or where retention of eliminated salt is undesirable, there remains a relative dearth of alternative uranyl(VI) precursors for protonolysis reactions, namely, alkyls, alkoxides/aryloxides, and amides. The lack of uranyl(VI) alkyls available for alkane elimination strategies can be ascribed to the incompatible combination of highly oxidizing hexavalent uranium and the reducing nature of alkyls. Indeed, the only structurally characterized examples of organo-σ uranyl species are redox-robust cyanides, multidentate © XXXX American Chemical Society

pincer ligands, or poly alkylated species that saturate the coordination sphere of uranium.15−19 However, each would likely introduce synthetic complications if used as precursors to more elaborate derivatives. Uranyl alkoxides are more prevalent, and were first reported in 1959, namely, [U(O)2(OR)2] (R = Me, Et, nPr, iBu),20 along with more recent examples [U(O)2(OCHR2)2(THF)n]x (R = Ph, tBu: n = 2, x = 0; R = iPr: n = 0, x = 2), and examples of uranyl aryloxides species include [U(O)2(OR)2(THF)2] (R = 2,6-But2C6H3, 2,6Ph2C6H3), [U(O)2(OR)2(THF)2]2 (R = 2,6-Cl2C6H3, 2,6Me2C6H3), [U(O)2(O-2,6-Pri 2C6H3)2(Py)3] (Py= pyridine), and the alkali metal salt [Na(THF) 3 ] 2 [U(O) 2 (O-2,6Me2C6H3)4].21−23 However, such species, already rich in thermodynamically favorable U−O bonds, have limited practical synthetic utility, particularly if substitution with monodentate ligands is required. For amides, which would be expected to be superior to alkoxides and aryloxides in protonolysis chemistry, reduction of uranyl(VI) remains an issue due to the possibility of aminyl radical formation and so to avoid the necessity to saturate the coordination sphere of uranyl,24 cf. alkyl derivatives,19 and bulky silylamides have been investigated, though not systematically. The di-bis(silyl)amide species [U(O)2(N″)2(S)2] (N″ = N(SiMe3)2, S = THF, Py) and [U(O)2{N(SiMe2Ph)2}2(Py)2] have been reported;25,26 however, it was Received: March 16, 2018

ethers and cryptands can enable the synthesis of novel actinideligand multiple bond linkages,12,32−38 SIP species of general formulas [U(O)2(N″)2}3][{M(crown)n}] and [U(O)2(N″)3][{M(2,2,2-cryptand)}] (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs).

noted that attempts to repeat the initially reported preparation of [U(O) 2 (N″) 2 (THF) 2 ] via the reaction of [U(O)2(Cl)2(THF)2] with 2 equiv of [Na(N″)] instead led to the isolation of the contact ion pair (CIP) alkali metal complex [{U(O)2(N″)4}{Na(THF)}2].23 The preparation of [{M(THF)2}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] (M = Na or K) were subsequently reported,27 but while the potassium analogue was prepared from the reaction of [U(O)2(Cl)2(THF)2] with 3 equiv of [K(N″)], the sodium congener could not be accessed via this synthesis route. Instead, the equimolar formation of [{U(O)2(N″)4}{Na(THF)}2] and [U(O)2(N″)2(THF)2] was observed, but [{Na(THF)2}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] was successfully prepared by the more circuitous route of preparing [{U(O)2(N″)4}{Na(THF)}2] then reacting it with C5Me5H. Interestingly, the [{M(THF)2}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] complexes are notable as unusual examples of uranyl(VI) with only three equatorial ligands coordinated; however, it was reported that in THF solution an additional THF molecule appears to coordinate to the uranium center. The THF is labile and is removed in vacuo and upon recrystallization, even from THF solutions.27 In addition to sodium and potassium salts, the lithium CIP complex [{Li(Py)2}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] (1LiPy2) and cobalt and phosphonium separated ion pair (SIP) complexes [U(O)2(N″)3][Co(Cp*)2] and [U(O)2(N″)3][PPh4] complete the collection of known uranyl-bis(silyl)amide group 1 derivatives.28,29 Uranyl(VI) di-bis(silyl)amides have found synthetic utility in the preparation of alkoxide and macrocyclic derivatives,26,28,30 but despite these reports, little is known of the inherent structures of alkali metal uranyl(VI)-(N″)− derived species.27,28 Furthermore, uranyl(VI) tri-bis(silyl)amides have been barely investigated, but fascinating derivatives chemistry is hinted at by the reactivity of a related uranyl(VI) complex with a triamidoamine ligand that afforded a mixed valence diuranium(V/VI) imido-oxo complex with complete cleavage and loss of a usually very robust uranyl oxo group.31 We therefore systematically targeted a range of uranyl(VI) tri-bis(silyl)amide complexes to provide a family of precursor compounds with synthetically useful scope. Herein, we present our results, which include CIP uranyl(VI) tri-bis(silyl)amide complexes with the general formula [{M(THF)x}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), and since it is increasingly clear that crown

RESULTS Synthesis and Formulations of Uranyl-tri-bis(silyl)amides 1M−4M. Reactions of [U(O)2(Cl)2(THF)2] with 3 equiv of [M(N″)] (M = Na, K, Rb, or Cs) in THF gives the uranyl(VI) tri-bis(silyl)amide CIP complexes [{M(THF)x}{(μO)U(O)(N″)3}] (1M) (M = Na, x = 2; M = K, Rb, Cs, x = 0) in good yields (70−83%, Scheme 1). The lithium congener, [{Li(THF)2}{(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3}] (1Li), is readily prepared by a different route, where addition of [Li(N″)] to [U(O)2(N″)2(THF)2] in THF gives, as with 1Na−1Cs, 1Li in good isolated yield (76%), Scheme 1. The value of ‘x’ in the 1M series was determined by NMR spectroscopy on solids dissolved after drying. However, on drying under vacuum for the Li, Na, and K derivatives either crystallinity is lost, and/or the color of the crystalline material changes from orange to red. This suggests that the THF solvent in these complexes is labile and easily removed under vacuum. Indeed, crystallographic studies of crystals of 1Li and 1Na that have not been exposed to vacuum and instead kept in an excess of THF reveal these complexes to be the SIPs [U(O)2(N″)3][Li(THF)4] (2Li) and [U(O)2(N″)3][Na(THF)6] (2Na). However, crystallization of 1K from THF solution affords either the CIP [{K(THF)3}{(μO)U(O)(N″)3}] (1Ka) or the SIP [U(O)2(N″)3][K(THF)6] (2K), depending on the crystallization conditions. A clear trend emerges that can be linked to the diminishing metal affinity for ethers as group 1 is descended whereby 2Li and 2Na desolvate to bis(THF) derivatives where we surmise that the alkali metal is now bound to a Oyl in a CIP (see below). 2K and 1Ka completely desolvate to give [K(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3] (1K), again anticipated to be a CIP, and extending this trend further, no matter what excess of THF is present the CIP complexes [Rb(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3] (1Rb) and [Cs(μ-O)U(O)(N″)3] (1Cs) are always isolated as solvent-free polymers, consistent with the fact those two crystalline materials do not change color or form under vacuum. Interestingly, the solvent-free CIP variants are dark red, but partial or full solvation that partially or fully disrupts the M···Oyl interactions changes the color to B

orange. Last, 1M complexes only dissolve in donor solvents such as THF, DME, or pyridine, which suggests that in solution the donor solvents cleave those compounds into SIPs which is also suggested by UV/vis/NIR spectroscopic data (see below). Since there could be situations where it would be synthetically desirable to have uranyl(VI)-triamide complexes with formulations that are free of THF-loss complications, we prepared well-defined separated ion pair derivatives. Accordingly, treatment of complexes 1M (M = Li−Cs) with 2,2,2cryptand or 2 equiv of size-matched crown ether afforded the SIPs [U(O)2(N″)3][M(2,2,2-cryptand)] (3M, M = Li−Cs) and C

Solid State Structural Analysis of Uranyl-triamides 1M−4M. The formulations of 1Ka, 1Rb, 1Cs, and 2M−4M were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the solid state structures are shown in Figures 1−5 with selected bond lengths and angles compiled in Table 1. The solid state structure for 1Na has been reported previously;27 however, in our hands we find that following the same crystallization conditions as previously reported we obtain crystals of 2Na rather than 1Na. It was not possible to isolate crystalline samples of 1Li and 1K, as these were insoluble in nondonor solvents, and upon dissolution in donor solvents, solvated structures such as 2Li, 1Ka, and 2K were observed. The solid state structures of complexes 1Rb and 1Cs were determined and are always found to crystallize solvent-free, so conversely, the 2Rb and 2Cs analogues are not available, as is the case with 1Li, 1Na, and 1K. The solid state structures of 2Li, 2Na, 2K contain alkali metal cations coordinated to four (Li) and six (Na, K) molecules of THF, which are lost when crystalline samples are

placed under vacuum. Complexes 1M and 2M−4M form two distinct classes of structure, the former being contact ion pairs (CIP), where the alkali metal is bound to the Oyl-group, and the latter adopting separated ion pair motifs (SIP), where each alkali metal is fully encapsulated with THF, crown, or cryptand. In all cases, the data confirm a trigonal bipyramidal geometry about uranium with three amide ligands occupying the equatorial positions (N−U−N angles: ca. 120°, N−UO: ca. 90°) and the two oxo groups occupying the axial positions in a trans manner [range OUO: 178.0(2) to 180(0)°].8 In the CIP 1M series, each alkali metal is coordinated to an Oyloxo group, with the M-O distances increasing from Li [1.83(3) Å] to Cs [2.926(13) Å] in line with the increased radii of the alkali metal on descending Group 1.39 In 1LiPy2, 1Na, and 1K, each alkali metal is coordinated by donor solvent leading to mononuclear units, whereas in 1Rb and 1Cs, there is no donor solvent present. Thus, an infinite polymeric chain is observed. For the monomers, the UO bond distances appear to vary, with the bridging UO distances [1.880(11), 1.810(5), and D

spanning the narrow ranges 1.784(4)−1.802(14) Å and 2.308(18)−2.330(4) Å, respectively, confirming that similar structures are obtained independent of the alkali metal used. The UO distances are typical for uranyl(VI) species,40 and the U−N distances compare well to those of the closely related SIP species [U(O) 2 (N″) 3 ][Co(η 5 -C 5 Me 5 ) 2 ] and [U(O)2(N″)3][PPh4] (mean U−N: 2.318 Å),29,41 but are longer than reported uranium(V) mono-oxo (N″)3 complexes (mean U−N: 2.264 Å)28,42,43 and the neutral uranium(VI) series [U(O)(N″)3(X)] (X = F, Cl, Br, or Me) (mean U−N: 2.206 Å),44,45 likely due to the uranyl centers in 2M−4M being anionic rather than neutral.

1.804(3) Å, respectively] being longer than the terminal UO bond distances [1.810(11), 1.781(5), and 1.776(3) Å, respectively] which is likely due to the alkali metal drawing charge away from the UO unit leading to a weakening of the UO bond. This effect is greatest in 1LiPy2, as expected due to the lithium metal being the hardest electropositive metal in the series. In polymeric 1Rb and 1Cs, no UO bond variation is observed as each UO bond is coordinated to an alkali metal, and they are in fact identical as they are related by symmetry. As expected, the uranyl anions in 2M−4M are essentially identical, with UO and U−N bond distances E

ligands is ignored, and the uranyl moiety is treated as a linear triatomic molecule.47,48 As shown in Table 1 there is a clear difference between CIP series 1M and SIP series 3M−4M, the former with stretching force constants of 6.63−6.72 mdyn Å−1 and the latter with a larger stretching force constant of 6.91− 6.95 mdyn Å−1. Within the 1M series, the heavier group 1 metals exhibit a larger stretching force constant (1Rb and 1Cs: 6.72 mdyn Å−1) than the lighter alkali metals (1Li: 6.69, 1Na: 6.63, 1Ka: 6.68 mdyn Å−1) consistent with the increased polarizing nature of the lighter group 1 metals weakening the UO bond to a greater extent than the heavier congeners. As 3M and 4M are all SIP complexes with no interaction with the alkali metal, there is no such pattern observed in these series. The interaction force constants are also distinct for each series (1M: − 0.62 to −0.69; 3M−4M: − 0.74 to −0.81), due to a weakening of the UO bonds in the 1M series, but there are no patterns observed within each series.

Single Crystal X-ray Crystallography (CCDC Numbers 1827552−1827567). Crystallographic data for 1M−4M is compiled in Table 2. Data for 1M−4M were recorded on (a) an Agilent Supernova diffractometer, equipped with either an Atlas/AtlasS2 or TitanS2 CCD area detector with mirror-monochromated CuKα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å), (b) an Agilent Supernova diffractometer, equipped with an Eos CCD area detector with a Microfocus source with Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å), or (c) a Rigaku Xcalibur2 diffractometer, equipped with an Atlas CCD area detector and a sealed tube source with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Intensities were integrated from data recorded on narrow (0.5 or 1.0°) frames by ω rotation. Cell parameters were refined from the observed positions of all strong reflections in each data set. Either Gaussian grid face-indexed or multiscan absorption corrections with a beam profile correction were applied. The structures were solved by direct methods using either SHELXS or SHELXT,58,59 and the data sets were refined by full-matrix least-squares on all unique F2 values, with anisotropic displacement parameters for all non-hydrogen atoms, and with constrained riding hydrogen geometries; Uiso(H) was set at 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq of the parent atom. The largest features in final difference syntheses were close to heavy atoms and were of no chemical significance. CrysAlisPro60 was used for control and integration, and SHELXL61 and OLEX262 were employed for structure refinement. ORTEP-363 and POV-Ray64 were employed for molecular graphics.
