title: The first uranyl-methine carbon bond; a complex with out-of-plane uranyl equatorial coordination.
abstract: Treatment of [UO2Cl2(thf)3] in thf with one equivalent of [Na(CH(Ph2P = NSiMe3)2)] yields an unusual uranyl chloro-bridged dimer containing a uranium(VI)-carbon bond as part of a tridentate bis(iminophosphorano)methanide chelate complex. The methine carbon is displaced significantly from the uranyl equatorial plane.
