Absolute uranium–ligand bond-disruption enthalpies of [U(C5H4R)3X] complexes (X = I or H, R = But or SiMe3)
Abstract
The absolute uranium–ligand bond-disruption enthalpies (kJ mol–1) of the series [U(C5H4R)3X](X = H or I, R = But or SiMe3) have been measured by iodinolysis batch-titration solution calorimetry in toluene: R = But, 246.3 ± 5.3 (X = I), 249.7 ± 5.7 (X = H); R = SiMe3, 265.6 ± 4.3 (X = I), 251.7 ± 5.1 (X = H).
