title: Synthesis of terminal uranium(IV) disulfido and diselenido compounds by activation of elemental sulfur and selenium.
abstract: Rare stakes: Terminal uranium(IV) disulfido and diselenido compounds, Tp*2U(E2) (E=S, Se), were synthesized by the activation of elemental chalcogens. Structural, spectroscopic, computational and magnetic studies of these species establish their tetravalency and highly polarized U-E bonds.
