V. Brandel et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF URANIUM BROMIDE PHOSPHATE UBRPO4-CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O AND URANIUM HYDROXIDE PHOSPHATE U(OH)PO4, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie IIc, Chimie, 1(9), 1998, pp. 561-566
Uranium chloride phosphate tetrahydrate UClPO4. 4H(2)O was obtained by
mixing uranium (IV) hydrochloric solution and concentrated phosphoric
acid [1]. From crystal structure studies its formula was determined a
s dihydrate [2]. Using the same method, i.e. starring From uranium (IV
) hydrobromic solution and H3PO4, two crystal forms of a new compound,
uranium bromide phosphate UBrPO4. 2H(2)O were synthesized. Their XRD
patterns, W-visible and infrared spectra are presented in this paper.
The hydrolysis process of the chloride and bromide phosphates leads to
the amorphous uranium hydroxide phosphate U(OH)PO4. 6H(2)O. (C) Acade
