Comparative Insertion Reactivity of CO, CO2, tBuCN, and tBuNC into Thorium– and Uranium–Phosphorus Bonds

A study of the comparative reactivity of CO, CO2, tBuCN, and tBuNC with (C5Me5)2An[P(H)Mes]2 (An = Th, U) has been undertaken. While CO2 and tBuNC form identical products with both metals, namely (...
