β‐Uranium(V) fluoride was reacted with liquid anhydrous hydrogen cyanide to obtain a 1D coordination polymer with the composition1∞ [UF 5 (HCN) 2 ],1∞ [UF 4/1 F 2/2 ‐ (HCN) 2/1 ], revealed by single‐crystal X‐ray structure determination. The reaction system was furthermore studied by means of vibrational and NMR spectroscopy, as well as by quantum chemical calculations. The compound presents the first described polymeric HCN Lewis adduct and the first HCN adduct of a uranium fluoride.
