Thorium–phosphorus triamidoamine complexes containing Th–P single- and multiple-bond interactions

Despite the burgeoning field of uranium-ligand multiple bond chemistry, analogous thorium compounds remain scarce. Here, the authors synthesize and characterize a series of thorium complexes with multiple bonds to phosphorus, and probe their 5f versus 6d orbital bonding character.
