Since the structure of the hydride is unrelated to the structures of any of the metal and the hydride has a definite composition, it is not an interstitial solid solution but a true compound."

The Preparation and Properties of Some Mixed Uranium Halides

From abstract: "Compounds of tetravalent uranium containing two halogens have been prepared. Six combinations of the four halogens are possible, and at least one compound of each group was made. X-ray diffraction patterns were made in most cases and cooling curves of melts were made for the bromachlorides. The two general methods of preparation used were (a) reaction of a uranium trihalide with a halogen of greater atomic weight and (b) interaction of two tetrahalides."

Uranium Tolerance and Citrate Excretion (open access)

Uranium Tolerance and Citrate Excretion

Abstract: "Previously, an acquired tolerance to the toxic action of uranium compounds was developed in two mammalian species, rats and rabbits. In rats made tolerant by repeated injections of uranium an increased excretion of urinary citrate was demonstrated. In these experiments a tolerance to uranium has been produced in dogs. Further, these tolerant dogs evidenced an increased excretion of urinary citrate. The significance of these results is described."
