Uranocene, U(C8H8)2, is an organouranium compound composed of a atom sandwiched between two cyclooctatetraenide rings. It was one of the first organoactinide compounds to be synthesized. It is a green air-sensitive solid that dissolves in organic solvents. Uranocene, a member of the "," a group of incorporating from the series. It is the most studied bis[Cyclooctatetraene|[8annulene]]-metal system, although it has no known practical applications.


Synthesis, structure and bonding
Uranocene was first described in 1968 by the group of Andrew Streitwieser, when it was prepared by the reaction of dipotassium cyclooctatetraenide and uranium tetrachloride in THF at 0°C:

Uranocene is highly reactive toward oxygen, being in air but stable to . The x-ray crystal structure of uranocene was first elucidated by the group of . Considering the molecule to be U4+(C8H82−)2, the -cyclooctatetraenide groups are planar, as expected for a ring containing 10 π-electrons, and are mutually parallel, forming a sandwich containing the atom. In the solid state, the rings are eclipsed, conferring D8h symmetry on the molecule. In solution the rings rotate with a low activation energy.

The uranium-cyclooctatetraenyl was shown by photoelectron spectroscopy to be primarily due to mixing of uranium 6d orbitals into ligand pi orbitals and therefore donation of electronic charge to the uranium, with a smaller such interaction involving the uranium ( 5f)2 orbitals. Electronic theory calculations agree with this result and point out that the weaker interaction of the open-shell 5f orbitals with the ligand orbitals determines | MJ|, the magnitude of the angular momentum quantum number along the 8-fold symmetry axis of the ground state.


Spectroscopic properties
Uranocene is . Its magnetic susceptibility is consistent with values of 3 or 4 for | MJ|, with the accompanying magnetic moment being affected by the spin-orbit coupling. Its NMR spectrum is consistent with an | MJ| value of 3.
(1979). 9789027709905, Reidel.
Electronic theory calculations from the simplest to the most accurate also give | MJ| values of 3 for the ground state and 2 for the first excited state, corresponding to double-group symmetry designations of E3g and E2g for these states.

The green color of uranocene is due to three strong transitions in its . In addition to finding vibrational frequencies, Raman spectra indicate the presence of a low-lying ( E2g) excited electronic state. On the basis of calculations, the visible transitions are assigned to transitions primarily of 5f-to- 6d nature, giving rise to E2u and E3u states.


Analogous compounds
Analogous compounds of the form M(C8H8)2 exist for M = (, , , , , , and ). Extensions include the air-stable derivative U(C8H4Ph4)2 and the species U(C7H7)2. In contrast, bis(cyclooctatetraene)iron has a very different structure, with one each of a η6- and η4-C8H8 ligands.
