title: Observation of the inverse trans influence (ITI) in a uranium(V) imide coordination complex: an experimental study and theoretical evaluation.
abstract: An inverse trans influence has been observed in a high-valent U(V) imide complex, [(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U(NMes)]. A thorough theoretical evaluation has been employed in order to corroborate the ITI in this unusual complex. Computations on the target complex, [(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U(NMes)], and the model complexes [(((Me)ArO)(3)N)U(NMes)] and [(NMe(3))(OMe(2))(OMe)(3)U(NPh)] are discussed along with synthetic details and supporting spectroscopic data. Additionally, the syntheses and full characterization data of the related U(V) trimethylsilylimide complex [(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U(NTMS)] and U(IV) azide complex [(((Ad)ArO)(3)N)U(N(3))] are also presented for comparison.
