摘要

Metal-metal bonding is a widely studied area of chemistry~(1-3), and has become a mature field spanning numerous d transition metal and main group complexes~(4-7). By contrast, actinide-actinide bonding, which is predicted to be weak~(8), is currently restricted to spectroscopically detected gas-phase U_(2)and Th_(2)(refs.~(9,10)), U_(2)H_(2)and U_(2)H_(4)in frozen matrices at 6-7 K (refs.~(11,12)), or fullerene-encapsulated U_(2)(ref.~(13)). Furthermore, attempts to prepare thorium-thorium bonds in frozen matrices have produced only ThH_(n)(n = 1-4)~(14). Thus, there are no isolable actinide-actinide bonds under normal conditions. Computational investigations have explored the probable nature of actinide-actinide bonding~(15), concentrating on localized σ-, π-, and δ-bonding models paralleling d transition metal analogues, but predictions in relativistic regimes are challenging and have remained experimentally unverified. Here, we report thorium-thorium bonding in a crystalline cluster, prepared and isolated under normal experimental conditions. The cluster exhibits a diamagnetic, closed-shell singlet ground state with a valence-delocalized three-centre-two-electron σ-aromatic bond~(16,17)that is counter to the focus of previous theoretical predictions. The experimental discovery of actinide σ-aromatic bonding adds to main group and d transition metal analogues, extending delocalized σ-aromatic bonding to the heaviest elements in the periodic table and to principal quantum number six, and constitutes a new approach to elaborate actinide-actinide bonding.
