Insertion of isocyanides into actinoid–carbon bonds of tris-and bis-cyclopentadienyluranium mono-and di-alkyls

Abstract
Isocyanides react readily with UCp3R and U(C5Me5)2RCl (Cp cyclopentadienyl, R alky) to give iminoalkyl insertion compounds; with U(C5Me5)2R2, only one insertion reaction occurs, the second metal–carbon bond does not react; i.r. spectra of the insertion compounds exhibit unusually low CN stretching frequencies indicatives of strong metal–nitrogen bonding which causes non-equivalence in the Cp groups in the n.m.r. spectrum of UCp32-CN(C6H3Me2-2,6)Bun}
