## Abstract Reaction of UCl~4~ with [Li{RC(NCy)~2~}(THF)]~2~ (R = Me, 1a; R = __n__Bu, 1b) in THF gave the tris(amidinate) compounds [U{RC(NCy)~2~}~3~Cl] (R = Me, 2a; R = __n__Bu, 2b) which were reduced with lithium powder in THF to the homoleptic complexes [U{RC(NCy)~2~}~3~] (R = Me, 3a; R = __n__
