The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a base-free terminal actinide phosphinidene metallocene have been comprehensively studied. The salt metathesis reaction of the thorium methyl iodide complex Cp‴2Th(I)Me (2; Cp‴ = η5-1,2,4-(Me3C)3C5H2) with Mes*PHK (Mes* = 2,4,6-(Me3C)3C6H2) in THF furnishes the first stable base-free terminal phosphinidene actinide metallocene, Cp‴2Th═PMes* (3). Density functional theory (DFT) shows that the bonds between the Cp‴2Th2+and [PMes*]2–fragments are more covalent than those in the related thorium imido complex. While the phosphinidene complex3shows no reactivity toward alkynes, it reacts with a variety of heterounsaturated molecules such as CS2, isothiocyanate, nitriles, isonitriles, and organic azides, forming carbodithioates, imido complexes, metallaaziridines, and azido compounds. These experimental observations are complemented by DFT computations.
