Heavy metal triangles : A class of actinide metallomacrocycles has been prepared in which three (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 An (An=Th, U) fragments are coordinated by three 5,6‐dicyano‐1‐methyl‐3‐( N ‐methylamino)isoindolyl bridging ligands (N blue). The tetravalent actinide centers form a triangular array in the products obtained through an unprecedented actinide‐mediated cyclization of 1,2,4,5‐tetracyanobenzene and subsequent self‐assembly.
