Laser‐ablated thorium atoms react with ammonia to form thorimine (NHThH 2 ), the first actinide imine to be reported. This work underscores the high reactivity of thorium atoms, particularly for NH bond activation, reveals a new type of multiple bond to actinide atoms, and shows that this bond is strong for thorium as a result of an important contribution from the f orbitals.
