First Measurement of a Thermochemical Property of a Seaborgium Compound

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 1999 Aug;38(15):2212-2213. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1521-3773(19990802)38:15<2212::aid-anie2212>3.0.co;2-6.

Abstract

With only a few atoms of seaborgium (Sg, element 106), in the form of volatile SgO(2)Cl(2), it was possible to determine the sublimation enthalpy of this compound using gas chromatography. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that in Group 6 Sg is chemically more similar to W than to Mo.
