Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of Cs 2UCl 6 is investigated at 298 K in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), dimethylsulphoxide, ethylene glycol dimethylether and propylene carbonate, and at 400 K in HMPA together with dimethylsulphone (DMSO 2). The transient techniques describe a two-step reduction: trivalent uranium is the intermediate oxidation state and metallic uranium is the final product. Macroscopic quantities of the metallic actinide are obtained only in molten DMSO 2 at 400 K.
