Tetramethylsilane worked for me, but needs to be kept cold (bp 26 Β°C).

Using rel. ECPs or ZORA gave very similar results, but for meaningful comparison the methods should be kept consistent. Thank you to Jan-Erik for doing such a great job during his research internship and beyond and Paul for the smooth collaboration! Open access funding through project #DEAL.

Including relativistic effects is of course crucial to properly describe the U-P bonding, as we found by comparing non-relativistic with relativistic ECPs. This also gave some nice insights into the influence of relativistic effects on the energy and availability of orbitals for bonding.

Relativistic effects are crucial for uranium-phosphorus bonding: a DFT study of cyclopentadienyluranium-phosphine complexes The influence of relativistic effects on the uranium–phosphorus bond in different cyclopentadienyluranium–phosphine complexes was systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT). ...

In collaboration with Paul Jerabek from Hereon, we had a closer look at different popular options for including relativistic effects in DFT calculations of uranium complexes. #chemsky #compchemsky πŸ§ͺβš—οΈπŸ’» Published now in Molecular Physics: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We introduced two NNS pincer ligands to uranium chemistry and could show that when coordinating to UCl4, two of the ligands bind to U, but only via the N. Deprotonating the coordinated amine unexpectedly led to the isolation of ammonium salts of the ligand. Uranium chemistry is full of surprises!
