Enthalpies of reaction have been determined by solution calorimetry for the process 2AX(c) + ThX4(c) = A2ThX6(c) where A = K, Cs and X = Cl, Br. The measurements afforded the following values of standard enthalpies of formation [Formula: see text], in kJ mol−1: K2ThCl6, −2108; Cs2ThCl6, −2151; K2ThBr,−1774; Cs2ThBr6,−1826. The standard enthalpies of formation of ThCl62− (g), ThBr62− (g), UCl62− (g), and UBr62− (g) and the two-halide ion affinities of ThCl4, ThBr4, UCl4, and UBr4 were compared by assuming semi-empirical (Kapustinskii) values of the lattice energies of the complexes. Homolytic and heterolytic bond energies were also calculated.

The crystal structures of 10-methylacridinium chloride monohydrate, bromide monohydrate and iodide were determined by X-ray analysis. The compounds crystallize in the triclinic space group, P¯1, with 2 molecules in the unit cell. The molecular arrangement in the crystals revealed that hydrogen bonds (in hydrates) and van der Waals contacts play a significant part in intermolecular interactions. To discover their nature, contributions to the crystal lattice energy arising from electrostatic (the most important since the compounds form ionic crystals), dispersive and repulsive interactions were calculated. Enthalpies of formation of the salts, their stability and susceptibility to decomposition could be predicted from a combination of crystal lattice energies with values of other thermochemical characteristics obtained theoretically or taken from the literature. The role of water in the stabilization of the crystal lattice of the hydrates is also explained. The information gathered has given an insight into the features and behaviour of compounds which can be regarded as models of a large group of aromatic quaternary nitrogen salts.
