Reaction of [UO2Cl2(THF)3] with 3 equivalents of LiC6Cl5 in Et2O resulted in the formation of first uranyl aryl complex [Li(Et2O)2(THF)][UO2(C6Cl5)3] ([Li][1]) in good yields. Subsequent dissolution of [Li][1] in THF resulted in conversion into [Li(THF)4][UO2(C6Cl5)3(THF)] ([Li][2]), also in good yields. DFT calculations reveal that the U−C bonds in [Li][1] and [Li][2] exhibit appreciable covalency. Additionally, the 13C NMR chemical shifts for their Cipso environments are strongly affected by spin‐orbit coupling—a consequence of 5f orbital participation in the U−C bonds.
