The structures of the dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) and N,N′‐dimethylpropyleneurea (dmpu) solvated thorium(IV) ions have been studied in solution by extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and the structure of the solid oxonium bis[nonakis(κO‐dimethyl sulfoxide)]thorium(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate dihydrate, (H3O)[Th((CH3)2SO)9]2(CF3SO3)9·2H2O (1) has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and EXAFS. Compound 1 was crystallized by evaporating a saturated dmso solution. It consists of two individual nonakis(κO‐dimethyl sulfoxide)thorium(IV) units, both of which have a tricapped trigonal prismatic configuration, as also found in nonakis(dimethyl sulfoxide)thorium(IV) perchlorate previously reported. Mean Th–O bond lengths of 2.47 and 2.43 Å are found for the two structural units, respectively, for which the differences may be explained by differences in occupancy and temperature factors. The EXAFS data of 1 revealed mean Th–O and S–O bond lengths of 2.449(3) and 1.525(3) Å, respectively, and a Th–O–S bond angle of 135.2(5)° to give a Th···S distance of 3.665(7) Å. In dmso solution, the mean Th–O and S–O bond lengths are 2.447(3) and 1.534(3) Å, respectively, the Th–O–S bond angle is 133.5(5)°, and there is a Th···S distance of 3.672(7) Å. The Th–O bond‐length distribution is somewhat asymmetric in both samples with Rmax values of 2.424 and 2.422 Å for 1 and solution, respectively. In dmpu solution, the Th–O and C–O bond lengths are 2.404(5) and 1.264(2) Å, respectively, and there is a Th–O–C angle of 157.1(5)° to give a Th···C distance of 3.594(7) Å. The observed Th–O bond length indicates strongly that thorium(IV) is eight‐coordinate in dmpu.
