S. Taut et al., THERMOCHROMATOGRAPHY OF HEAVY ACTINIDES ADSORPTION OF NO-259 ON TI, V, NB, TA AND MO, Journal of alloys and compounds, 271, 1998, pp. 316-321
The adsorption of elemental No on Ti, V, Nb, Ta and Mo was studied in
comparison to Cf, Es and Fm by thermochromatography. The adsorption en
thalpy values of No show the predicted metallic divalency of this elem
ent. This is confirmed by calculations with two semiempirical models d
eveloped by Eichler [1] and Miedema [2]. Using the experimentally prov
ed correlation between adsorption and sublimation enthalpies, we calcu
lated the No sublimation enthalpy to be 134 +/- 15 kJ mol(-1). (C) 199
