Uranium(III) chloride
Uranium(III) chloride, UCl3, is a water soluble salt of uranium. UCl3 is used mostly to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. Uranium(III) chloride is synthesized in various ways from uranium(IV) chloride; however, UCl3 is less stable than UCl4.
There are two ways to synthesize uranium(III) chloride. The following processes describe how to produce uranium(III) chloride.
(1) In a mixture of NaCl-KCl at 670–710 °C, add uranium tetrachloride with uranium metal.
(2) Heat uranium(IV) chloride in hydrogen gas.
In solid uranium(III) chloride each uranium atom has nine chlorine atoms as near neighbours, at approximately the same distance, in a tricapped trigonal prismatic configuration.
Uranium(III) chloride is a green crystalline solid at room temperature. UCl3 melts at 837 °C and boils at 1657 °C. Uranium(III) chloride has a density of 5500 kg/m3 or 5.500 g/cm3.
Its composition by weight:
Its formal oxidative states:
