The intermolecular exchange of cyclopentadienyl groups in the system UCp 3 –UCp 3 Cl in THF solution between 170–300 K was investigated by 1 H nmr. The kinetic results show a bimolecular mechanism and suggest an electron transfer via the chlorine atom. This first example of a symmetrical exchange in the U III –U IV system illustrates the lability of actinide organometallic compounds.
