Equilibria of element 104 rutherfordium (Rf) observed

We successfully observed the equilibrium state of the chemical reactions for superheavy elements on a one-atom-at-a-time scale; we investigated the time dependence of the extraction behaviour of element 104, Rf. The distribution coefficient of Rf in 9 M HCl was found to be higher than those of its homologous elements, probably due to differences in the chloride complexation of Rf.
