Description
The electrochemical behaviour of the Thorium (IV) and Uranium (IV) acetylacetonates [Th(acac)4] and [U(acac)4] (acac=acetylacetonate ion) has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in tetrahydrofuran and acetonitrile. The complexes are reduced in two one-electron steps. The first electron uptake leads to the [M111(acac)4]- (M = Th or U) ion, which slowly loses an acetylacetonate ion acac-, with formation of [M111(acac)3]. The second step is more complex and is due to the reduction of [M111(acac)4]- and/or acac-. (author)
