Redox potentials: E(UO22+/UO2+)=60±4 mV/NHE, E(U4+/U3+)=–630±4mV/NHE measured at 25°C in acidic medium (HClO4 1M) using cyclic voltametry are in accordance with the published data. From 5°C to 55°C the variations of the potentials of these systems (measured against Ag/AgCl electrode) are linear. The entropies are then constant: [$$\log \frac{{\beta _3 U(V)}}{{\beta _3 U(VI)}} = - 14.7 \pm 0.5$$ and then$$\log \beta _3 U(V) = 6.6 \pm 0.3.$$
