Description

We have applied the relativistic density functional method to the chemistry of rutherfordium (Rf: element 104). We used M(NO3)4(H2O)4 [where M=Zr, Hf and Rf] cluster to compare the electronic structure between Rf nitrate and Zr, Hf nitrates. The number of d electrons decreases in the order of Rf > Zr > Hf and s electron occupation decreases Rf > Hf > Zr. Rf(NO3)4(H2O)4 is found to be more stable than Zr(NO3)4(H2O)4 and Hf(NO3)4(H2O)4.
