Controlling selectivity in the reductive activation of CO2 by mixed sandwich uranium(iii) complexes

The synthesis and molecular structures of a range of uranium(III) mixed sandwich complexes of the type [U(η8-C8H6(1,4-SiMe3)2)(η5-CpMe4R)] (R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu) and their reactivity towards CO2 are reported. The nature of the R group on the cyclopentadienyl ring in the former has a significant effe...
