The silsesquioxane ligand ( i Bu) 7 Si 7 O 9 (OH) 3 ( iBu POSSH 3 ) is revealed as an attractive system for the assembly of robust polynuclear complexes of uranium(III) and allowed the isolation of the first example of a trinuclear U(III) complex ([U 3 ( iBu POSS) 3 ]) that exhibits magnetic communication and promotes dinitrogen reduction in the presence of reducing agent.
