Abstract and subjects

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Anhydrous thorium tetrachloride complexes ThCl4(DME)(2), ThCl4(1,4-dioxane)(2), and ThCl4(THF)(3.5) have been easily accessed from inexpensive, commercially available reagents under mild conditions and serve as excellent precursors to a variety of thorium(IV) halide, alkoxide, amide and organometallic compounds.
