Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility and anisotropy of the hexagonal salt Cs2UCl6 were measured from 80 to 300 K and found to be essentially independent of temperature. The results were interpreted using a parameterized crystal field model. k was found to be 0.93, but the L C3-U-Cl deduced does not agree with the value known from the structure for any reasonable range of the crystal field parameter p2. It is deduced that the next state, T4(Oh), above the ground T1 state should be split by 50 cm-l. This is in fair agreement with the value observed from the spectrum, 82 cm-1.https://doi.org/10.1071/CH9742053
