Abstract
Anhydrous chlorides of hexavalent (UO2++), quadrivalent, and trivalent uranium ions are photochemically active when in a solution fluid at 77°K. The solvent consisted of 10 percent n‐propanol, 45 percent propane, and 45 percent propene. It was shown spectroscopically and also chemically that quadrivalent uranium was reduced to the trivalent form. There were indications that trivalent and hexavalent uranium were transformed photochemically to the tetravalent state.Keywords
