Title: Chemistry of the heaviest actinides: fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, and lawrencium

Conference · · ACS Symp. Ser.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6507431

Conclusions regarding these shifts toward greater stabilization of 5f orbitals with increasing atomic number are mainly supported by the appearance of the divalent oxidation state well before the end of the actinide series and the predominance of the divalent state in the next to last element in the series. These conclusions and the underlying experimental evidence are the main subject of this review.
