Abstract Reaction of [CuH(PPh 3 )] 6 with 1 equiv. of Tl(OTf) results in formation of [Cu 6 TlH 6 (PPh 3 ) 6 ][OTf] ( [1]OTf] ), which can be isolated in good yields. Variable‐temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopy, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, confirms the presence of a rare Tl−H orbital interaction. According to DFT, the 1 H chemical shift of the Tl‐adjacent hydride ligands of [1] + includes 7.7 ppm of deshielding due to spin‐orbit effects from the heavy Tl atom. This study provides valuable new insights into a rare class of metal hydrides, given that [1][OTf] is only the third isolable species reported to contain a Tl−H interaction.
