8.011.9Mの塩酸水溶液中での第4族元素Zr並びにHfの塩化物形成を広域X線吸収微細構造分光法(EXAFS)を用いて調べた。両元素の塩化物錯形成は塩酸濃度8.0Mでは、水和物[M(HO)](M=Zr,Hf)構造をとり、濃度の増加にしたがって塩化物イオンが配位し、11.9Mでは6塩化物錯体[MCl]構造になることがわかった。この塩化物配位の連続的変化は以前のZr, Hfの陰イオン交換挙動をよく反映していた。今回のEXAFS法とZr, Hf及びRfのイオン交換実験の結果をもとに、RfもZr, Hfと同様に塩酸水溶液中では[Rf(HO)]から[RfCl]の構造を形成することが示唆された。

Chloride complexation of the group-4 elements Zr and Hf in 8.0-11.9 M HCl is investigated by Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy to characterize chloro complexes of the transactinide element, rutherfordium (Rf). The complexes of Zr and Hf successively vary with the concentration of HCl from a hydrated complex [M(HO) ] at 8.0 M to a hexachloro complex [MCl] at 11.9 M (M = Zr and Hf). The present structural changes of the Zr and Hf complexes well reflect the previously studied anion-exchange behavior of Zr and Hf in HCl. From both the EXAFS and anion-exchange results, we suggest that Rf forms the same complexes as those of Zr and Hf in HCl, and that the complexation strength of the hexachloro complexes of the group-4 elements, [MCl] (M = Zr, Hf, and Rf), is in the sequence of Rf Zr Hf.
