Abstract We report the small‐scale synthesis, isolated yield, single‐crystal X‐ray structure, 1 H NMR solution spectroscopy /solid‐state UV/Vis‐nIR spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT)/ab initio wave function theory calculations on an Am 3+ organometallic complex, [Am(C 5 Me 4 H) 3 ] ( 1 ). This constitutes the first quantitative data on Am−C bonding in a molecular species.
