Uranium hexachloride (UCl₆) is an inorganic chemical compound of uranium in the +6 oxidation state. UCl₆ is a metal halide composed of uranium and chlorine. It is a multi-luminescent dark green crystalline solid with a vapor pressure between 1-3 mmHg at 373.15 K. UCl₆ is stable in a vacuum, dry air, nitrogen and helium at room temperature. It is soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). Compared to the other uranium halides, little is known about UCl₆.
