Nitrogen fixation—the direct conversion of dinitrogen into ammonia or other nitrogen-containing products—is notoriously difficult to promote under mild conditions. Now, the reactivity of a multimetallic diuranium(iii) complex recently found capable of reducing and functionalizing N2 has been explored, replacing its nitride bridge with an oxo bridge, which resulted in a markedly different reactivity.
