The title complex, [UCl(C10H15)(2)(C6H5ClN)], adopts the pseudo-tetrahedral geometry typical for bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)uranium complexes, with a chloride and a para-substituted amide ligand occupying the plane bisecting the metallocene unit. Some important bond lengths include U-N 2.237(3) and U-Cl 2.613 (1) Angstrom.
