On-line gas chromatographic studies of Rf, Zr, and Hf bromides

Abstract

The heavy element volatility instrument (HEVI), an on-line isothermal gas chromatography system, has been used to separate the volatile bromide compounds of the group 4 elements Zr and Hf and the transactinide Rf according to their volatilities, and to provide data on the gas phase chemical properties of very short-lived isotopes in amounts as low as a few atoms. For these studies {sup 261}Rf was produced via the {sup 248}Cm({sup 18}O, 5n) reaction. {sup 165-167}Hf was produced via the reaction {sup nat}Eu({sup 19}F, xn), and {sup 85}Zr was produced via the {sup nat}Cu({sup 28}Si, 3p3n) reaction. The half-life for {sup 261}Rf was measured to be 75 {+-} 7 seconds. A Monte Carlo code was used to deduce the enthalpy of adsorption ({delta}H{sub a}) from the observed volatility and parameters of the chromatography system. The resulting adsorption enthalpies for the Zr, Hf, and Rf tetrabromides are: -108 {+-} 5 kJ . mol{sup -1}, -113 {+-} 5 kJ . mol{sup -1} and -87 {+-} 7 kJ . mol{sup -1}, respectively. Volatilities of the group 4 bromides support the conclusion from previous results for the group 4 chlorides that Rf deviates from the trend expected by simple extrapolation of the properties of its  More>>

Volatilities of the group 4 bromides support the conclusion from previous results for the group 4 chlorides that Rf deviates from the trend expected by simple extrapolation of the properties of its lighter homologs in the periodic table. The group 4 bromides are also observed to be less volatile than their respective chlorides, as predicted by relativistic calculations. (orig.)}
