The intermolecular ligand exchange kinetics between a uranium(IV) β-diketonate and free β-diketone were studied by 1H nmr as a function of temperature and concentration. The reaction was found to be of first order in both chelate and free ligand. The results suggest that the exchange mechanism involves a ninth coordination site in the uranium(IV) chelate.
