Multi-electron redox chemistry is important in transition-metal-mediated processes, but is rarely observed with uranium due to its propensity to undergo single-electron reactions. Now, uranium can use its electrons, coupled with those stored in redox-active ligands, to perform multi electron reduction of organoazides and form uranium tris(imido) derivatives.
