FOREWORD The Subcommittee on Radiochemlstry i.sone of a number of’ subcommittees working under the Committee on Nuclear Science within the National Academy of Sciences - National Research council. Its members represent government, industrial, and university laboratories in the areas of nuclear chemistry and analytical chemistry, The Subcommittee has concerned itself with those areas of nuclear science which involve the chemist, such as the collec- tion and distribution of radiochemical procedures, the estab- lishment of specifications for radiochemically pure reagents, availability of cyclotron time for service irradiations, the place of radiochemistry In the undergraduate college program, etc . This series of monographs has grown out of the need for up-to-date compilations of radiochemi.cal ~,n~ormationand pro- cedures, The Subcommittee has endeavored to present a series which will be of maximum use to the working scientist and which contains the latest available information. Each mono- graph collects in one volume the pertinent information required for radiochemical work with an individual element or a group of closely related elements. An expert in the radiochemistry of the particular element has written the monograph, following a standard format developed by the Subcommittee. The Atomic Energy Commission has sponsored the printing of the series. The Subcommittee is confident these publications will be useful not only to the radiochemist but also to the research worker in other fields such as-physics, biochemistry or medicine who wishes to use radiochemical techniques to solve a specific problem. W. Wayne Meinke, chairman Subcommittee on Radiochemistry iii INTRODUCTION This volume which deals with the radlochemistry of palladlum is one of a series of monographs on radlochemlstry of the elements. There is included a review of the.nuclear and chemical features of particular interest to the radio- chemlst, a discussion of problems of dissolution of a sample and counting techniques, and finally, a collection of radlo- chemical procedures for the element as found In the litera- ture . The series of monographs will cover all elements for which radlochemical procedures are pertinent. Plans Include revision of the monograph periodically as new techniques and procedures warrant. The reader Is therefore .encouraged to call to the attention of the author any published or unpub- lished material on the radlochemlstry of-palladium which might be included In a revised version of the monograph.

PALLADIUM CHEMISTRY OF INTEREST TO RADIOCHEMISTS Palladium belongs to Subgroup VII, platinum metals, transition series Ru, Rh, Pd. Palladium and platlnum resemble one another more closely than any other pair In the group of platinum metals. Both elements are normally only dlvalent and tetravalent; with palla- dium the tetravalency Is much less stable than the divalency, while with platinum both are equally stable. There are some indications that monovalent palladium exists, but no such com- pound has been Isolated. Trivalent palladium compounds do 3 exist, a’ndhave been isolated, but they are unstable and are unlikely to be encountered in radlochemlcal work. Palladium Is the most abundant of the platinum metals In the earthls crust as a whole, forming about 1 part In 108, wh1Cti Is about twice as much as platinum. The element is found together with the other platinum metals, as well as In special minerals such as braggite (a mixture of platintim,palladium and nickel sulfldes), which contains about 20 per cent of palladium, potarite (PdHg) and stibiopalladlnlte (Pd3Sb). The element can also be recovered from the anode mud of copper and nickel re- fining plants. A. Metallic Palladium Palladium is a silvery-white ductile metal with a meltlng point of 1553.6° c (3). Its density Is variously given, depend- ing upon its physical condition, ranging from 11.4 at 22.5° C (4) to 11.97 at 0° C (5). It is known that absorption of hydrogen decreases the density (6). The latter reference gives the value 11.96 at 18° c: The element can be obtained in different physical states, compact and colloidal metal, palladium sponge and palladium black. The metal alloys with most metals, is a powerful catalyst (especially as the palladium black or colloidal metal), and absorbs many different gases (the most readily absorbed is hydrogen).

It is named for the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered at about the same time, as well as for the Greek name Pallas, goddess of wisdom. A silver-white, ductile metal, palladium has a face-centered cubic crystalline structure and does not tarnish in air. It is the least noble (most reactive) of the platinum group and can absorb up to 800 times its own volume of hydrogen. Upon doing so, the metal swells, becoming brittle and cracked. Such absorption of hydrogen decreases the electrical conductivity of the metal. Also, such absorption activates molecular hydrogen, dissociating it to atomic hydrogen. It is attacked by hot, concentrated nitric acid and boiling sulfuric acid. It is soluble in aqua regia, fused alkalis, hot nitric acid and boiling sulfuric acid, and insoluble in organic acids and water. It is a good electrical conductor. It is nontoxic and noncombustible, except as dust. The metal forms mostly bivalent compounds, although a small number of tetravalent and fewer trivalent compounds are known.

    A History of Iridium OVERCOMING THE DIFFICULTIES OF MELTING AND FABRICATION By L. B. Hunt The Johnson Matthey Group The use in unmanned space craft of iridium to encapsulate the radio- isotope thermoelectric generators, where temperatures of up to 20OO0C have to be withstood over several years of operation, with possible impact velocities of 90 metres per second, has focused greater attention on the remarkable properties of this member of the platinum group of metals. But these same properties of very high melting point and great mechanical strength have been the cause of difficulties in its melting and fabrication over a long period of years. How these problems were tackled and eventually overcome is described in this article. One of the less well-known members of the For some fifty years after the discovery of platinum group, iridium possesses quite platinum in South America and the early remarkable chemical and physical properties.

Email: [email protected] This is the sixth and fi nal review on the circumstances surrounding the discoveries of the isotopes of the six platinum group elements. The fi rst review on platinum isotopes was published in this Journal in October 2000 (1), the second on iridium isotopes in October 2003 (2), the third on osmium isotopes in October 2004 (3), the fourth on palladium isotopes in April 2006 (4) and the fi fth on rhodium isotopes in April 2011 (5). An update on the new isotopes of palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum discovered since the previous reviews in this series is also included. Naturally Occurring Ruthenium Of the thirty-eight known isotopes of ruthenium, seven occur naturally with the authorised isotopic abun- dances (6) shown in Table I. The isotopes were fi rst detected in 1931 by Aston (7, 8) using a mass spectrograph at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University, UK.
