Observations on the Preparation of the Tribromide and Triiodide of Uranium

Uranium Tribromide has been prepared both by the reduction of the tetrabromide with hydrogen at 600-700° C, and by direct union of uranium and bromine at about 580°C. An attempt to prepare the triiodide of uranium by the latter method was unsuccessful
