Siloxides can support U! …in the reduction of small molecules with uranium complexes. The treatment of [U{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 3 ] with HOSi(O t Bu) 3 (3 equiv) yielded a novel homoleptic uranium(III) siloxide complex 1 , which acted as a two‐electron reducing agent toward CS 2 and CO 2 (see scheme). Complex 1 also reduced toluene to afford a diuranium inverted‐sandwich complex.
