title: Aryloxide anions can form outer sphere complexes with metals as electropositive as uranium.
abstract: A uranium complex containing an outer sphere aryloxide anion is formed by the proteolytic cleavage of the methyl group in the mono-methyl uranium metallocene, (C(5)Me(5))(2)[(i)PrNC(Me)N(i)Pr]UMe, by 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol.
