Aryloxide anions can form outer sphere complexes with metals as electropositive as uranium

William J. Evans, Justin R. Walensky and Joseph W. Ziller

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, (C5Me5)2[iPrNC(Me)NiPr]UMe, by 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol.
