Riassunto

Written by one of the founders of gas-chromotagraphic methods in radiochemistry, this book attempts a genuine first. It is a discussion of the state of art of heavy element inorganic radiochemistry. It aims to be a real addition to the understanding of this crucial topic. Written as much for newcomers to the field as experts, its goal is also to stimulate wider use of the advantageous gas phase techniques for common elements.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"This is an interesting and well-prepared book. ... it covers, only the gas-phase chemistry of elements of atomic numbers greater than Z = 103. As a result, it will be of interest to ... readers of JACS. ... In the six brief chapters, the limited data are well evaluated and presented." (Gregory R. Choppin, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 130 (42), 2008)
