Chemical bond of a superheavy element compound probed at GSI/FAIR

By K Puspa

IIT Roorkee, Oct 22: An international collaboration led by a research group from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has achieved the first measurement of the chemical stability of a superheavy element compound. The focus was on the hexacarbonyl complex Sg6 of seaborgium. The result: The bond between the seaborgium atom and a carbonyl ligand is weaker than expected based on its...
