Abstract
Uranyl(VI) acetate in glacial acetic acid is reduced with metallic magnesium, iron, zinc, or cadmium to uranium(IV) acetate or to the double acetates MU(CH 3COO) 6, M Mg, Fe, and Zn, which are described for the first time. Cadmium does not form a double acetate, whilst the zinc double acetate easily loses zinc in acetic acid. The nonstoichiometry of zinc double acetate is explained by correlating its crystal structure with that of uranium(IV) acetate on the basis of the X-ray diffraction data, which are reported together with the i.r. spectra and the magnetic susceptibilities. The reduction of uranyl(VI) acetate with cadmium or zinc is recommended for the laboratory preparation of uranium(IV) acetate.
