Abstract
A new neutral π-arene complex of trivalent uranium, (η6-C6H5Me)U(AlCl4)3 (1), was obtained by the reductive Freidel-Crafts reaction. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The U atom in 1 is bound to the C6H5Me group by the η6 mechanism and is linked to the three AICl4 groups through two g-CI bridges. The coordination of the U atom is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid in which the center of the arene ring is in one apical position, and the bridging Cl atoms occupy the other vertices.
