Minimal structural changes accompany the oxidation of the paramagnetic uranium(V) anion [U(dbabh)6]− to the neutral, diamagnetic counterpart [U(dbabh)6] (see structure). These two Th-symmetric complexes, which were synthesized starting from 2,3:5,6-dibenzo-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (Hdbabh), are the first isolable homoleptic hexakisamido complexes of uranium(V) and (VI).
