Abstract Reduction of Cp*( Tripp TerN)UI with KC 8 generates (KCp*( Tripp TerN)UI) 2 , the first example of a trivalent uranium imido, a previously elusive species, which are commonly unstable. Experimental and computational results indicate that the K + coordination is responsible for this isolable U(III) monoimido complex.
