Oligomeric cation–cation complexes of actinyls are highly relevant for nuclear waste reprocessing and the migration of actinides in the environment. In their Communication on page 8477 ff., M. Mazzanti et al. show that the N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (salen) ligand can stabilize uranium in the pentavalent state. A tetrametallic cation–cation complex shows stability towards disproportionation and hydrolysis, and an unambiguous antiferromagnetic coupling between the four oxo-bridged uranium centers.
