C–C bond cleavage and carbonylation enabled by an NNN-pincer uranium scaffold via metal–arene interaction

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Enabled by a bulky rigid trianionic NNN-pincer ligand, the uranium–arene interaction results in the facile cleavage of the biphenylene C–C bond and the functionalization with CO under mild conditions to yield a U-bound 9-fluorenone.
