Actinide-Mediated Cyclization of 1,2,4,5-Tetracyanobenzene: Synthesis and Characterization of Self-Assembled Trinuclear Thorium and Uranium Macrocycles

Heavy metal triangles: A class of actinide metallomacrocycles has been prepared in which three (C5Me5)2An (An=Th, U) fragments are coordinated by three 5,6‐dicyano‐1‐methyl‐3‐(N‐methylamino)isoindolyl bridging ligands (N blue). The tetravalent actinide centers form a triangular array in the products...

Description
Summary:	Heavy metal triangles: A class of actinide metallomacrocycles has been prepared in which three (C5Me5)2An (An=Th, U) fragments are coordinated by three 5,6‐dicyano‐1‐methyl‐3‐(N‐methylamino)isoindolyl bridging ligands (N blue). The tetravalent actinide centers form a triangular array in the products obtained through an unprecedented actinide‐mediated cyclization of 1,2,4,5‐tetracyanobenzene and subsequent self‐assembly.
