摘　　要：由于具有特殊的电子结构和独特的反应性,低价锕系配合物已得到广泛关注.目前,实验中得到的可分离、晶体结构确定的+2锕系元素配合物少之又少.本工作通过相对论密度泛函理论探索了低价[AnL]z(An=Ac^Pu;L=[(Me,MeAr OH)3Ar]3–;z=0和-1)的结构和氧化还原性质.计算发现,在[AnL]→[AnL]–还原过程中An-CAr和An-Arcent距离缩短,这是由于还原电子进入到An和Ar共享区域,增强了δ(An-Ar)成键作用所致.还原时,配合物[AcL]和[ThL]的Ar基团捕获了大部分还原电子,而Pa^Pu配合物的则更多地定域在金属周围.因此,还原产物中Ac和Th仍为+3,而Pa^Pu则为+2、具有5fn电子组态.得到的还原电势值随着Ac^Pu整体呈上升趋势,在U和Np处出现相对Pa和Pu的低点.这一趋势与电子亲和能和An-CAr/Arcent距离变化有很好的相关性.It is of great significance to identify new oxidation state of actinide, which will enrich actinide coordination chemistry and advance its exploration of chemical bond and reactivity. So far, uranium with +3^+6 oxidation states has been widely recognized in complexes. Comparatively, isolated, crystallographically identified U(II) complexes remain rare. Inspired by the pioneering work of Evans and co-workers that Y·[UII(Cp’)3](Y=[K(2.2.2-cryptand)]+, Cp’=[C5 H4SiMe3]–) was structurally characterized, several uranium(II) complexes such as Y·[ULE](LE=[(Ad,MeArO)3 mesitylene]3–, Ad=adamantyl), [U(NHAriPr6)2](AriPr6=2,6-(2,4,6-iPr3C6H2)2C6H3), Y·[U{N(SiMe3)2}3] and [U(η5-C5iPr5)2] were synthetically accessible. Inspection finds that all these U(II) complexes were prepared in the same route, i.e., utilizing potassium graphite or potassium sphere to reduce respective U(III) parent at low temperature. Cyclopentadiene(Cp) and arene(Ar)-based ligands are involved. They are key to determine U(II) electron configuration, leading to 5 f36 d1 and 5 f4, respectively. Moreover, δ(U-Ar) bonds play a significant role in stabilizing arene-ligated complexes. With the supporting of Cp-derived ligands, actinide(II) complexes were extended to Th, Np and Pu. Unfortunately, it is not the case for the arene ligands, even with massive efforts. Given the prevailing route that actinide(II) complex was synthesized by reducing its trivalent parent, the exploration of redox property will help to guide the synthesis of more novel U(II) and even other actinide(II) complexes. In this respect, theoretical computation based on accurate methodology is greatly appealing. Herein, relativistic density functional theory was exploited to investigate structural and redox properties of [AnL]z(An=Ac^Pu;L=[(Me,MeArOH)3 Ar]3–;z=0 and-1), where analogues of uranium complexes were experimentally known. It is found that the central arene moiety is redox-active for Ac and Th complexes in the reduction reaction, while the metal center is reduced for
