Recoil chemistry of solids

The review is covered in sections entitled: hot-atom chemistry of the d-block elements (oxyanions; phthalocyanines; acetylacetonates; double, or two-centred complexes; complexes of rhenium, osmium, iridium, rhodium: organometallic compounds; complexes of cobalt, iron, chromium; Mossbauer studies of chemical effects of nuclear transformations; perturbed angular correlation studies); hot-atom chemistry of s- and p-block elements (s-block elements; p-block elements - including effects of neutron irradiation; effects of isomeric transitions and electron capture decay; ion implantation studies; gamma radiation annealing and γ-γ recoils; beta decay; alpha decay; deuteron and high-energy proton irradiations).
