Activation of dinitrogen (N2 , 78 %) and dioxygen (O2 , 21 %) has fascinated chemists and biochemists for decades. The industrial conversion of N2 into ammonia requires extremely high temperatures and pressures. Herein we report the first example of N2 and O2 cleavage by a uranium complex, [N(CH2 CH2 NPi Pr2 )3 U]2 (TMEDA), under ambient conditions without an external reducing agent. The N2 triple bond breaking implies a UIII -PIII six-electron reduction. The hydrolysis of the N2 reduction product allows the formation of ammonia or nitro
