Chemistry of superheavy elements
@article{Schdel2003ChemistryOS, title={Chemistry of superheavy elements}, author={Matthias Sch{\"a}del}, journal={Radiochimica Acta}, year={2003}, volume={100}, pages={579 - 604} }
Abstract The chemistry of superheavy elements - or transactinides from their position in the Periodic Table - is summarized. After giving an overview over historical developments, nuclear aspects about synthesis of neutron-rich isotopes of these elements, produced in hot-fusion reactions, and their nuclear decay properties are briefly mentioned. Specific requirements to cope with the one-atom-at-a-time situation in automated chemical separations and recent developments in aqueous-phase and gas…
