Abstract
A family of dinuclear bis(Tp*) (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) uranium compounds with conjugated organic linkers was synthesized to explore possible electronic communication between uranium ions. Trivalent diuranium phenyl alkynyl compounds, Tp*2UCC(1,3-C6H4)CCUTp*2 (2-meta) or Tp*2UCC(1,4-C6H4)CCUTp*2 (2-para), and tetravalent diuranium phenylimido compounds, Tp*2U(N-1,3-C6H4
