Abstract
The intermolecular exchange of cyclopentadienyl groups in the system UCp3–UCp3Cl in THF solution between 170–300 K was investigated by 1H nmr. The kinetic results show a bimolecular mechanism and suggest an electron transfer via the chlorine atom. This first example of a symmetrical exchange in the UIII–UIV system illustrates the lability of actinide organometallic compounds.Keywords
