Single‐Molecule Magnetism in a Single‐Ion Triamidoamine Uranium(V) Terminal Mono‐Oxo Complex1. Issue 18 (8th April 2013) - King, David M.
Abstract Single‐molecule magnets: Straightforward oxidation of a triamidoamine uranium(III) complex with trimethyl‐N‐oxide affords a uranium(V) terminal mono‐oxo complex which is the first clear‐cut example of a uranium(V) single‐molecule magnet (SMM). This monometallic complex unambiguously shows that a strongly axially ligated and thus anisotropic ligand field can be used to overcome the limited magnetic anisotropy of uranium(V).
