Reaction of [Th(I)(NR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] (R = SiMe<sub>3</sub>) (<b>2</b>) with KECPh<sub>3</sub> (E = O, S) affords the thorium chalcogenates, [Th(ECPh<sub>3</sub>)(NR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] (<b>3</b>, E = O; <b>4</b>, E = S), in moderate yields. Reductive deprotection of the trityl group from <b>3</b> and <b>4</b> by reaction with KC<sub>8</sub>, in the presence of 18-crown-6, affords the thorium oxo complex, [K(18-crown-6)][Th(O)(NR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] (<b>6</b>), and the thor ...[more]
