Evidence for ligand- and solvent-induced disproportionation of uranium(IV)
Abstract
Disproportion of uranium(IV) is rare, as it is usually the stable product of uranium(III) or (V) disproportionation. Here, the authors report uranium(IV) disproportionation to uranium(III) and (V) revealing ligand and solvent control over a key thermodynamic property of uranium
