Theoretical Insights into the Bonding in Thorium Organometallic Complexes: A Comparison with Group IV Transition Metal Chemistry
<p>In this thesis a detailed ab initio theoretical study of organothorium chemistry is presented. The first part is devoted to examining both the bonding in and the reaction chemistry of various substituted thorium complexes. Using the chlorine ligand as a model for the usual cyclopentadienyl...
