Abstract
S.H. Pitts Jr. [1] has reported reactions of uranium metal in mixtures of alcohols/carbon tetrachloride. We report the reaction of the uranium metal with ethanol/carbon tetrachloride at room temperature. After evaporation of the solution, a compound formulated as UCl 2(C 2H 5O) 2 was obtained as confirmed by elemental analysis and i.r. spectroscopy. The 1H n.m.r. spectra are also discussed. Preliminary results were also obtained for the anodic dissolution of uranium metal in alcohols. Evidence for alkoxide U(IV) species is shown by U.V./visible and i.r. spectroscopy.
