The lithium salt of the ligand cp*py has been synthesized by a procedure described in the literature (Siemeling et al., 1995). The reaction of two equivalents of Li(cp*py) with UCl4 in THF at ambient temperature gives the complex UCl2(cp*py)2 (Moisan et al., 2001b). Single crystals of (I) were obtained from a solution of UCl2(cp*py)2 in THF/Et2O, in the presence of adventitious traces of oxygen.
The atoms of the diethylether units have been refined with anisotropic displacement ellipsoids restrained to an approximate isotropic behaviour. All hydrogen atoms were introduced at calculated positions as riding atoms with C—H bond lengths of 0.93 (CH), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and a displacement parameter equal to 1.2 (CH, CH2) or 1.5 (CH3) times that of the parent atom. The methyl groups have been refined as rigid rotating units.
Data collection: kappaCCD software (Nonius, 1997); cell refinement: DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997); data reduction: DENZO-SMN; program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1990); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: SHELXTL (Bruker, 1997); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXTL and PARST97 (Nardelli, 1995).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. A 180° range in ϕ was scanned during data collection, with 2° ϕ steps. Crystal-to-detector distance fixed at 28 mm. Structure solved by direct methods and expanded by subsequent Fourier-difference synthesis. All non-hydrogen atoms have been refined anisotropically. All hydrogen atoms were introduced at calculated positions as riding atoms, with a displacement parameter equal to 1.2 (CH, CH2) or 1.5 (CH3) times that of the parent atom. Some restraints on displacement parameters have been applied to the atoms of the diethylether units. |

In the course of our studies on the uranium-complexing properties of the ligand tetramethyl-5-(2-pyridyl)cyclopentadiene, denoted cp*py, in view of obtaining uranium-containing heterobimetallic species, we obtained the title compound (I), which is a dinuclear U(IV) complex presenting some interesting features.
The asymmetric unit in (I) comprises one neutral complex molecule, which possesses approximate inversion symmetry. The ligand cp*py acts as a chelating ligand, as in another previously described U(IV)-cp*py complex (Moisan et al., 2001a). Whereas several examples have been reported in which the two ligating sites of cp*py are bound to different metal atoms (Neumann et al., 1997), these uranium complexes are the first examples in which cp*py (or its equivalent without methyl groups, cppy) is bound by the η5-cp* ring and the N atom to the same metal centre. The mean U—C bond length is 2.78 (8) Å, U···centroid distances are 2.509 and 2.519 Å for U1 and U2, respectively, and the mean U—N bond length 2.57 (3) Å: the U—C distance in particular is slightly longer than in the previous complex [mean U—C 2.72 (9), U—N 2.553 (9) Å]. Such a coordination mode of cp*py bringing the N atom closer to U results in a distortion which is evidenced by the displacement of atoms C2, C5 and C16, C19 out of the corresponding tetramethylcyclopentadienyl mean planes. These displacements are of 1.76 (6), 0.52 (4), 1.69 (5) and 0.47 (4) Å, respectively, slightly larger than in the previous complex [1.62 (3) and 0.42 (2) Å] because of the larger U—C bond lengths. The dihedral angles between the five- and six-membered rings are 74 (1) and 73 (1)° for the two ligands, slightly greater than in the previous compound [71.7 (4)°], probably for the same reason. The two cyclopentadienyl rings in (I) are nearly parallel with a dihedral angle of 3(1)°, as are the pyridyl units, with a dihedral angle of 4.0 (9)°, in accord with the presence of a pseudo-symmetry centre.
U1 and U2 are each also bound to a chloride ion, with a mean bond length of 2.62 (2) Å and to a diethyl ether molecule, with a mean U—O bond length of 2.15 (4) Å, much smaller than the mean U—O(diethylether) bond length found from the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen & Kennard, 1993), which is 2.50 (3) Å. Two µ2-oxo ions bridge the two metal atoms, with a mean U—O bond length of 2.10 (3) Å and a mean U—O—U angle of 108.6 (4)°, in good agreement with the mean values for structures of bis(µ2-oxo)-bridged uranium(IV) dimers found in the CSD [2.14 (4) Å and 106.7 (5)°].
If the cyclopentadienyl ring is represented by its centroid and the difference in nature between the donor atoms is neglected, the U ions are in very distorted octahedral environments, with the common edge O1···O2. U1, U2, O1 and O2 define a plane with a maximum deviation of 0.03 (2) Å. This plane is nearly orthogonal to that defined by U1, U2, Cl1 and Cl2 [maximum deviation 0.054 (9) Å], with a dihedral angle of 80.4 (5)°. N1 and N2 are close to the second plane, with deviations of 0.15 (2) and -0.02 (2) Å, but O3, O4 and the centroids of the cyclopentadienyl rings are more distant from the first one, with deviations in the range 0.22 (3)–1.00 (2) Å. The U···U distance, 3.401 (2) Å, matches the mean distance in the three dinuclear, bis(µ2-oxo)-bridged, U(IV) complexes reported in the CSD [3.43 (7) Å]. This U···U distance is much larger than that corresponding to a U—U single bond (2.85 Å, Cayton et al., 1991), indicating that no bonding interaction is present between the metal atoms in (I).
