Abstract

The structure of an unusual organometallic complex, {Th[(CH ₃)₅C₅]₂ H(μ-H)}₂ · C₆H₅CH₃, has been determined from neutron diffraction data, using only the direct-methods program MULTAN. Besides providing accurate metrical information on the first organometallic actinide hydride complex, these results have general and far-reaching implications concerning the complexity and size of crystal structures that can be elucidated solely on the basis of neutron diffraction data.
