Abstract: | The structure of an unusual organometallic complex, {Th(CH(3))(5)C(5)](2) H(micro-H)}(2) . C(6)H(5)CH(3), 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. |
