Description

Potassium, rubidium, and caesium hexafluorouranates(V) are vaporised at temperatures of the order of 4000C. The vapours are co-condensed with argon or nitrogen as matrix gases. Infrared spectra suggest a Csub(3upsilon) symmetry for the species isolated in argon and a Csub(2upsilon) symmetry in nitrogen. In the case of sodium hexafluorouranate(V) the spectra are complicated by decomposition reactions leading to uranium pentafluoride as one of the products. (author)
