Photolysis of [U(tren TMS )(μ‐N(SiMe 3 )NC)] 2 (see scheme; R=SiMe 3 ) results in multiple bond cleavage and capture to give a well‐defined product [U{N(CH 2 CH 2 NSiMe 3 ) 2 (μ‐CH 2 CH 2 NCN)}{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 }] 2 . This transformation has no precedent in diazoalkane chemistry and is not thermally accessible.
