A series of uranium (IV) mixed-ligand amide–halide/pseudohalide complexes (C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (SiMe 3) 2](X)(X= F (1), Cl (2), Br (3), I (4), N 3 (5), NCO (6)),(C 5 Me 5) 2 U (NPh 2)(X)(X= Cl (7), N 3 (8)), and (C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (Ph)(SiMe 3)](X)(X= Cl (9), N 3 (10)) have been prepared by one electron oxidation of the corresponding uranium (III) amide precursors using either copper halides, silver isocyanate, or triphenylphosphine gold (I) azide. Agostic U⋯ H–C interactions and η 3-(N, C, C′) coordination are observed for these complexes in both the solid-state and solution. There is a linear correlation between the chemical shift values of the C 5 Me 5 ligand protons in the 1 H NMR spectra and the U IV/U III reduction potentials of the (C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (SiMe 3) 2](X) complexes, suggesting that there is a common origin, that is overall σ-/π-donation from the ancillary (X) ligand to the metal, contributing to both observables. Optical spectroscopy of the series of complexes 1–6 is dominated by the (C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (SiMe 3) 2] core, with small variations derived from the identity of the halide/pseudohalide. The considerable π-donating ability of the fluoride ligand is reflected in both the electrochemistry and UV-visible-NIR spectroscopic behavior of the fluoride complex (C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (SiMe 3) 2](F)(1). The syntheses of the new trivalent uranium amide complex,(C 5 Me 5) 2 U [N (Ph)(SiMe 3)](THF), and the two new weakly-coordinating electrolytes,[Pr 4 N][B {3, 5-(CF 3) 2 C 6 H 3} 4] and [Pr 4 N][B (C 6 F 5) 4], are also reported.
