Structural characterization of Pu[N(SiMe(3))(2)](3), a synthetically useful nonaqueous plutonium(III) precursor.
A rare, and synthetically versatile, nonaqueous plutonium complex, Pu[N(SiMe3)2]3 (1), has been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time and reveals significantly shorter agostic interactions compared to the cerium(III) analogue, indicating possible covalency differences.
