Abstract

The gaseous uranium halides UCl, UCl2, UCl3, UCl4, and UCl5 were generated under equilibrium conditions using several types of effusive beam sources, and were identified and characterized thermochemically by mass spectrometry. Five independent gaseous equilibria involving these species were studied in sufficient depth so that both reactionenthalpy and entropy changes could be evaluated accurately from second law analysis. The enthalpy ...
