Abstract

The fluorescence spectra of uranyl complexes with pyridine are described and compared with the known spectra of double salts and addition compounds. In some cases the spectra are of the double salt type whereas in others of the type of addition compounds. The fluorescence spectra of uranyl salts have been generalised into three categories,viz., (i) single reversal and single banded fluorescence spectrum (to which most of the uranyl salts belong), (ii) double reversal and double banded spectrum (to which uranyl sulphate trihydrate belongs) and (iii) single reversal and double banded fluorescence spectrum (to which pyridine uranyl chloride form I belongs). This latter situation is also found in the case of uranium activated alkali fluoride phosphors. The decay times of these complexes are also reported.
