Nihonium is a synthetic transactinide element in group 13, below thallium. It has been identified only as individual atoms produced in heavy-ion nuclear reactions, chiefly through decay chains from heavier nuclei and by direct fusion experiments. Its chemistry has not been characterized experimentally in bulk. Relativistic calculations predict that nihonium may differ markedly from lighter group 13 elements, with a particularly stable +1 oxidation state and a less accessible +3 state.
Nihonium does not occur naturally in the Earth’s crust. The name nihonium and the symbol Nh are the accepted ones for element 113. Nihon is one of the two ways to say “Japan” in Japanese and means “the land of the Rising Sun.” It is the first element to have been discovered in an Asian country [665], [666], [667].
The synthesis of nihonium was first announced in 2004. The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were able to produce two super-heavy elements by bombarding a rotating 243Am disc with an ion beam of 48Ca in a U-400 cyclotron. During the reaction, isotopes of moscovium, previously known as ununpentium, were synthesized and decayed in a tenth of a second to nihonium, which then decayed to roentgenium. Because the atoms of moscovium only existed for a tenth of a second, radiochemical proof was needed to support its syntheses. A Swiss scientist at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) performed the radiochemical experiment by analyzing a copper plate that had been placed behind the 243Am disc in the cyclotron. This copper plate collected all moscovium atoms that were synthesized and was processed through liquid chromatography techniques that yielded five times more moscovium atoms than produced by fusion alone. The direct synthesis of nihonium was announced later that year by a team of Japanese scientists from the Cyclotron Center of the RIKEN Research Institute. These scientists bombarded atoms of 209Bi with a beam of 70Zn in a RIKEN heavy-ion linear accelerator (RILAC), shown in Fig. IUPAC.113.1, and gas-filled recoil ion separator (GARIS), shown in Fig. IUPAC.113.2. Nihonium has no known isotopic applications aside from scientific research.
On July 23, 2004, scientists working at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science in Wako, Japan, created the first two atoms of the element nihonium by accelerating zinc ions to 10 percent the speed of light and then impacting them onto a thin bismuth target. Both atoms quickly underwent a series of four alpha decays, forming dubnium-262, which then decayed by spontaneous fission. Nihonium's most stable isotope, nihonium-286, has a half-life of about 20 seconds. It decays into roentgenium-282 through alpha decay.
On November 28th, 2016 element 113 was named “nihonium” with the symbol Nh. The name was proposed by the discoverers at RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science in Japan. The name means mean “the Land of Rising Sun” and comes from the word “Nihon,” which means “Japan” in Japanese.
No macroscopic sample of nihonium has ever been made, so its color, texture, density, melting point, and other ordinary bulk properties are unknown. Any description of a metallic appearance is a theoretical expectation rather than an observation.
Nihonium has no practical use outside nuclear research. Its known isotopes are produced atom by atom and decay too quickly for materials applications, commercial chemistry, or radiological sources. Its value is scientific: production and decay measurements test models of superheavy nuclei, help map decay chains near the predicted island of stability, and provide benchmarks for relativistic calculations of very heavy elements.
Since only a few atoms of nihonium have ever been produced, it currently has no uses outside of basic scientific research.
No confirmed nihonium compound has been isolated or chemically characterized. By periodic position it belongs to group 13, but relativistic effects are expected to strongly affect its valence electrons. Calculations commonly predict Nh⁺ chemistry to be important, with Nh³⁺ less stable than the +3 states of aluminum, gallium, and indium. Possible halides such as nihonium(I) chloride, NhCl, or nihonium(III) chloride, NhCl₃, are theoretical species, not known preparations.
See more information at the Nihonium compound page.
The safety properties of nihonium are governed by radioactivity and the impracticality of producing more than a few atoms. Known isotopes are short-lived alpha-emitting nuclei or decay through related radioactive chains, with half-lives that are isotope-specific. There is no ordinary chemical exposure scenario, but any experiment requires containment and radiological controls appropriate for heavy-ion target work and decay detection.
Nihonium has no confirmed natural occurrence and no environmental cycle. Atoms made in laboratories decay before they could disperse or participate in environmental chemistry. Any environmental concern is therefore associated with accelerator targets, beamline materials, and radioactive daughter products used or produced in the experiment, not with persistent nihonium contamination.
Nihonium has no commodity market, industrial supply, or recycling stream. It is made only in specialized accelerator experiments by bombarding heavy actinide targets with ion beams, followed by detection of a few decay events. The limiting factors are access to high-intensity accelerators, rare target isotopes, long irradiation times, and highly sensitive detectors, rather than separable product yield. Substitution is irrelevant because there is no practical application to supply.
Made by bombardng bismuth-209 with zinc-70.
Nihonium is not expected to occur naturally in the universe in persistent amounts. Superheavy nuclei may be formed transiently in extreme nucleosynthetic environments, but isotopes of element 113 known or expected near present experiments decay rapidly. No extraterrestrial reservoir or spectroscopic detection is known.
- Nihonium was the first element named after Japan, from Nihon, a Japanese name for Japan.
- Its accepted discovery involved decay chains assigned to atoms made one at a time.
- The longest-lived confirmed nihonium isotopes still have half-lives far too short for ordinary chemical handling.
- For nihonium, periodic-table position is a weaker guide than usual because relativistic effects are large.
