Homoleptic uranium(IV) amidate complexes have been synthesized and applied as single‐source molecular precursors for the chemical vapor deposition of UO 2 thin films. These precursors decompose by alkene elimination to give highly crystalline phase‐pure UO 2 films with an unusual branched heterostructure.
