Caught in the actinide : A tetranuclear azido/nitrido uranium anion containing eight end‐on bridging azido ligands and a μ 4 interstitial nitrido ligand has been isolated and structurally characterized (see 1D chain; U green, Cs orange, I magenta, N blue, C white). A new two‐step procedure has been developed to promote the cluster assembly by oxidation of [UI 3 (thf) 4 ] with a preformed uranium heptaazido complex.
