The syntheses of tri- and tetravalent uranium complexes of the Ar(3)(F)TPA(3-) ligand [Ar-F = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl; TPA = tris(pyrrolyl-alpha-methylamine)] are described. Interligand noncovalent interactions between arene groups within the complexes are detected both in the solid state and in solution.
