Exploring the uranyl organometallic chemistry: from single to double uranium-carbon bonds.

Uranyl organometallic complexes featuring uranium(VI)-carbon single and double bonds have been obtained from uranyl UO(2)X(2) precursors by avoiding reduction of the metal center. X-ray diffraction and density functional theory analyses of these complexes showed that the U-C and U=C bonds are polarized toward the nucleophilic carbon.
