The first actinyl cyanide.
Reaction of UO2(OTf)2 with 5 molar equivalents of NEt4CN in acetonitrile led to the formation of the pentacyano uranyl complex [NEt4]3[UO2(CN)5] which is monomeric in the solid state with the five C-coordinated cyanide ions lying in the equatorial plane perpendicular to the linear {UO2} axis.
