Synthesis and structure of [{N(CH2CH2NSiMe3)3}URe(η5-C5H5)2]: a heterobimetallic complex with an unsupported uranium–rhenium bond

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The first structurally authenticated molecular uranium-transition metal bond is reported; DFT studies show sigma- and pi-components in the U-Re bond and this is the first time that the latter component has been reported in an unsupported f-element-transition metal bond.
