An unsupported uranium–rhenium bond has been prepared by alkane elimination by treatment of a cyclometallated alkyl uranium triamidoamine complex with rhenocene hydride (see scheme). DFT analysis reveals σ and π combinations in the URe bond, but the rhenium contributions dominate and an atoms‐in‐molecules analysis reveals a closed‐shell, predominantly ionic uranium–rhenium interaction.
