Homoleptic soft-donor actinide complexes of the general form An[E2PROR'](4) were synthesized from salt metathesis between ThCl4(DME)(2) or UI4(1,4-dioxane)(2) and M[E2PROR'], M = Na, K, to yield 2 (An = Th, E = S, R = 4-MeOC6H4, R' = Me), 3 (An = Th, E = S, R = 4-MeOC6H4, R' = Bu-t), 4 (An = U, E = S, R = 4-MeOC6H4, R' = Me), 5 (An = Th, E = Se, R = C6H5, R' = Me), and 6 (An = U, E = Se, R = C6H5, R' = Me). In addition thorium and uranium thioselenophosphinate complexes 7 and 8 were produced from the reaction of ThCl4(DME)(2) and Ul(4)(1,4-dioxane)(2) and Na[SSePPh2], respectively. All compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, H-1 and P-31 NMR, and IR spectroscopy, and the U(IV) compounds were also examined with UV-vis spectroscopy. The Se-77 NMR spectrum of 5 reveals the first reported resonance with a Th-Se bond. The solid-state structures of 2, 5, 7, and 8 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The actinide-ligand bonding was examined using density functional theory calculations in conjunction with quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules analysis and shows slightly increased covalency in actinide-selenium bonds than actinide-sulfur.
