Abstract
SALTS having the general formula M[UO2.(NO3)3] (where M is NH4, K, Rb, Cs) have been referred to in recent literature1. The tetramethylammonium salt has been prepared by reaction of the appropriate nitrates in pure nitric acid medium2, and the identity of a trinitratouranyl ion has been established in solutions of uranyl and tetra-n-butylammonium nitrates in acetone or methyl isobutyl ketone3.
