The mechanisms of the reduction of four isoelectronic heteroallenes (CS 2 , COS, PhN 3 , and PhNCO) by trivalent uranium complex (MeC 5 H 4 ) 3 U were determined by using DFT methods. The experimental formation of either the bimetallic CS 2 and the PhNCO uranium(IV) adducts or the bimetallic sulfide complex (COS) and the monometallic uranium(V) phenylimide complex (PhN 3 ) were rationalized. The formation of the products was explained by a unique reaction mechanism with a uranium(IV)‐bridged heteroallene intermediate.
