Selenate and tellurate complexes of pentavalent uranium.
Oxidation of (C(5)Me(5))(2)U([double bond, length as m-dash]N-2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3))(THF) with PhE-EPh yields the corresponding U(V)-chalcogenate complexes (C(5)Me(5))(2)U([double bond, length as m-dash]N-2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3))(EPh) (E = S, Se, Te) in excellent (>90%) isolated yields.
