Abstract:Polonium-210 (210Po) is a toxic radioisotope present naturally in freshwater and groundwater that threatens the safety of drinking water supply. Designed for rapid analyses, a new procedure was tested for...
“…29,30 There are numerous interests and progresses to quantify the 210 Po content in soils and gas lines. [31][32][33][34] It is surprising not to find a single report on the fundamental chemistry aspects such as noncovalent interactions with Po, more precisely H-bonding with Po. The reason could be that Po is radioactive and less electronegative.…”
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) with heavier chalcogens such as polonium and tellurium is almost unexplored owing to their lower electronegativities, providing us an opportunity to delve into the uncharted territory of...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
