Complexation of [UO2]2+ with Cl−, Br−, and I− in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to clearly differentiate halide coordination strengths to [UO2]2+. In the Cl− system, it was clarified that the Cl− coordination to [UO2]2+ in DMF proceeds almost quantitatively. The coordination number of Cl− almost quantitatively increases up to 4, i.e., the limiting complex is [UO2Cl4]2−. Logarithmic gross stability constants of [UO2Clx]2−x (x = 1–4) were evaluated as log β1 = 9.67, log β2 = 15.49, log β3 = 19.89, and log β4 = 24.63 from UV-vis titration experiments. The EXAFS results well demonstrated not only the Cl− coordination, but also the DMF solvation in the equatorial plane of [UO2]2+. The interaction of Br− and I− with [UO2]2+ in DMF was also investigated. As a result, the Br− coordination to [UO2]2+ stops at the second step, i.e., only [UO2Br]+ and UO2Br2 were observed. The molecular structure of each occurring species was confirmed by EXAFS. The evaluated log βx values of [UO2Brx]2−x (x = 1, 2) are 3.45 and 5.42, respectively. The much smaller log βx than those of [UO2Clx]2−x indicates that Br− is a much weaker ligand to [UO2]2+ than Cl−. The EXAFS experiments revealed that the presence of I− in the test solution does not modify any coordination structure around [UO2]2+. Thus, I− does not form any stable [UO2]2+ complexes in DMF. Consequently, the stability of the halido complexes of [UO2]2+ in DMF is exactly in line with the hardness order of halides.
