We describe the functionalisation of the previously reported uranium(iii) β-diketiminate complex (BDI)UI(THF) (1) with one and two equivalents of a sterically demanding 2,6-diisopropylphenolate ligand (ODipp) leading to the formation of two heteroleptic complexes: [(BDI)UI(ODipp)] (2) and (BDI)U(ODipp) (3). The latter is a rare example of a tetrahedral uranium(iii) complex, and it shows single-molecule magnet behaviour.
