    Abstract

    We report the preparation of four heterobimetallic uranium- and thorium-molybdenum paddlewheel complexes. The characterisation data calculations suggest the presence of Mo→An σ-interactions in all cases. These complexes represent unprecedented actinide-group 6 metal-metal bonds, where before heterobimetallic uranium-metal bonds were restricted to group 7-11 metals.
