The synthesis of a tetravalent neptunium amidinate [NpCl((S)-PEBA)<sub>3</sub> ] (1) ((S)-PEBA=(S,S)-N,N'-bis-(1-phenylethyl)-benzamidinate) is reported. This complex represents the first structurally characterized enantiopure transuranic compound. Reactivity studies with halide/pseudohalides yielding [NpX((S)-PEBA)<sub>3</sub> ] (X=F (2), Br (3), N<sub>3</sub> (4)) have shown that the chirality-at-metal is preserved for all compounds in the solid state. Furthermore, they represent an unpreceden ...[more]
