Abstract
Through a number of tertiary phosphine complexes or uranium halides have been claimed, most of the claims have been shown to be false. In this communication we describe the synthesis of some authentic bis(1,2-dimethylphosphino)ethane (dmpe) complexes of uranium(IV) and thorium(IV) halides of the type X/sub 4/M(dmpe)/sub 2/ and their conversion to the tetramethyl and tetraphenoxo derivatives. The crystal structure of the phenoxo derivative, (PhO)/sub 4/U(dmpe)/sub 2/, is described.
