Dibenzoylmethanate replaces the bridging triflate ligands in uranium triflate polyoxo-clusters and cleaves the U 12 O 20 core yielding the new [U 6 O 4 (OH) 4 (g-dbm) 12 ] dibenzoylmethanate (dbm À ) cluster which slowly dissociates into a monomeric complex. This reactivity demonstrates the importance of bridging ligands in stabilizing uranium polyoxo-clusters. This journal is
