Description

We report that U3O8, UO2(NO3)2.6H2O, and UO2Cl2 react with hexachloropropene (HCP) to give UCl4 in 60, 100, and 92% yields, respectively, and report a protocol to recycle the HCP. This renders the preparation of UCl4 more accessible and sustainable. 2,5-Dichloro-hexachloro-fulvene has been identified as a significant by-product from these reactions. (authors)
