ChemInform Abstract: The [U₂(μ‐S₂)₂Cl₈]^4‐ Anion: Synthesis and Characterization of the Uranium Double Salt Cs₅ [U₂(μ‐S₂)₂Cl₈]I.

Abstract

Single crystals of Cs5[U2(μ‐S2)2Cl8]I are obtained by solid state reaction of U, GeI2 or SnI4, S, and CsCl as flux in a 1:1:3:3.5 molar ratio (C‐coated evacuated silica tubes, complex heating and cooling schedule, 75 wt% yield).
