Abstract

A family of thorium complexes featuring the redox-noninnocent pyridinediimine ligand MesPDIMe was synthesized, including (MesPDIMe)ThCl4 (1-Th), (MesPDIMe)ThCl3(THF) (2-Th), (MesPDIMe)ThCl2(THF)2 (3-Th) and [(MesPDIMe)Th(THF)]2 (5-Th) Full characterization of these species shows that these complexes feature MesPDIMe in four different oxidation states. The electronic structures of these complexes have been explored using 1H NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, and SQUID magnetometry where appropriate.
