Abstract The imidophosphorane ligand, [NP t Bu 3 ] ( t Bu= tert ‐butyl), enables isolation of a pseudo‐tetrahedral, tetravalent praseodymium complex, [Pr 4+ (NP t Bu 3 ) 4 ] ( 1‐Pr ), which is characterized by a suite of physical characterization methods including single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance, and L 3 ‐edge X‐ray near‐edge spectroscopies. Variable‐temperature direct‐current magnetic susceptibility data, supported by multiconfigurational quantum chemical calculations, demonstrate that the electronic structure diverges from the isoelectronic Ce 3+ analogue, driven by increased crystal field. The four‐coordinate environment around Pr 4+ in 1‐Pr , which is unparalleled in reported extended solid systems, provides a unique opportunity to study the interplay between crystal field splitting and spin‐orbit coupling in a molecular tetravalent lanthanide within a pseudo‐tetrahedral coordination geometry.
