The molecular structure of ThBr(DME) (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane), the first structurally characterized thorium complex containing a simple bidentate ether ligand, is described. The eight-coordinate complex presents a distorted dodecahedral geometry, with Th—Br and Th—O bond lengths in the ranges 2.8516(13)–2.8712(13) Å and 2.564(8)–2.620(8) Å, respectively. ThBr(DME) is monoclinic, space group P2/n, a = 7.672(1), b = 14.581(1), c = 15.847(2) Å, β = 102.24(1)°, V = 1732.4(3) Å, and Z = 4.
