Single‐molecule magnets : Straightforward oxidation of a triamidoamine uranium(III) complex with trimethyl‐ N ‐oxide affords a uranium(V) terminal mono‐oxo complex which is the first clear‐cut example of a uranium(V) single‐molecule magnet (SMM). This monometallic complex unambiguously shows that a strongly axially ligated and thus anisotropic ligand field can be used to overcome the limited magnetic anisotropy of uranium(V).
