URANIUM CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties
dark green octahedral crystal(s); oxidizes in air; decomposes in water; enthalpy of fusion 45.00 kJ/mol; prepared by the reaction UO3+3CCl3CCl=CCl2→UCl4+Cl2+3CCl2=CClOCl [KIR83] [CRC10] [MER06]
Safety Profile
Probably a poison. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also URANIUM.
