Actinium is a radioactive actinide metal and the element that gives the actinide series its name. Natural actinium is present only in minute amounts, chiefly as ²²⁷Ac in uranium decay chains. Its chemistry is dominated by the +3 oxidation state and resembles that of lanthanum more than the later, more strongly 5f-influenced actinides. Because all isotopes are radioactive and scarce, most knowledge comes from tracer-scale chemistry rather than ordinary bulk handling.
Actinium-227, a decay product of uranium-235, is a beta emitter with a 21.6-year half-life. Its principal decay products are thorium-227 (18.5-day half-life), radium-223 (11.4-day half-life), and a number of short-lived products including radon, bismuth, polonium, and lead isotopes. In equilibrium with its decay products, it is a powerful source of alpha particles. Actinium metal has been prepared by the reduction of actinium fluoride with lithium vapor at about 1100 to 1300-degrees C. The chemical behavior of actinium is similar to that of the rare earths, particularly lanthanum. Purified actinium comes into equilibrium with its decay products at the end of 185 days, and then decays according to its 21.6-year half-life. It is about 150 times as active as radium, making it of value in the production of neutrons.
In April of 2012, Los Alamos National Laboratory announced a new medical isotope project that shows promise for rapidly producing major quantities of a new cancer-treatment agent, actinium 225 (Ac-225). Both a press release and a video are available.
Actinium was discovered in 1899 by André-Louis Debierne, a French chemist, while experimenting with new methods of separating rare earth oxides. Friedrich Otto Giesel independently discovered actinium in 1902. Actinium is a rare element that is present in uranium ores in tiny amounts, but it is usually cheaper and easier to create actinium when it is needed by bombarding radium with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
Actinium's most stable isotope, actinium-227, has a half-life of 21.77 years. It decays into francium-223 through alpha decay or into thorium-227 through beta decay.
From the Greek aktis, aktinos, meaning beam or ray. Discovered by Andre Debierne in 1899 and independently by F. Giesel in 1902. Occurs naturally in association with uranium minerals.
A freshly prepared macroscopic sample has rarely been available. Metallic actinium is described as silvery, but its bulk appearance and many physical properties are not as well characterized as those of common metals. It is expected to tarnish rapidly in air and to be self-luminous in the dark from intense radioactivity exciting surrounding materials.
Actinium has no broad commercial use as an elemental material. ²²⁵Ac is important in research and limited clinical development for targeted alpha therapy, where it is attached to carrier molecules intended to deliver alpha-emitting decay products to diseased cells. ²²⁷Ac has been used as a source for generating ²²⁷Th and other decay-chain nuclides, and actinium isotopes are used in radiochemical research, detector calibration, and studies of actinide separation chemistry. Proposed neutron-source uses with light-element targets are historically noted but are not a major present application.
Actinium has no significant commercial applications, although it is used in the production of neutrons.
Isotopes in Earth/Planetary Science
227Ac (with a half-life of 21.77 years) has been used as a tracer of deep-sea mixing in the oceans. By determining concentrations of 227Ac in a water column, scientists can study the rates and patterns of mixing and other vertical exchange processes [583] W. Geibert, M. M. Rutgers van der Loeff, C. Hanfland, H. J. Dauelsberg. Earth. Planet. Sci. Lett.198, 147 (2002).. As a product of the 235U decay chain, 227Ac and other radioisotopes have been used to determine information about the movement of fluids in mid-oceanic ridges and basaltic melts [584] D. McKenzie. Chem. Geol.162, 81 (2000)., [585] W. S. Moore, W. Ussler III, C. K. Paull. Mar. Chem.109, 421 (2008)..
Isotopes in Medicine
225Ac (with a half-life of 10 days) can be used in cancer treatments (Fig. IUPAC.89.1). The isotope is attached to a chelating agent (a substance that can form multiple bonds to a single metal ion) and delivered to the problem site. The emissions of alpha particles from actinium and its daughter products cause tumor death [586] M. R. McDevitt, D. Ma, L. T. Lai, J. Simon, P. Borchardt, R. K. Frank, K. Wu, V. Pellegrini, M. J. Curcio, M. Miederer, N. H. Bander, D. A. Scheinberg. Science294, 1537 (2001).. 225Ac in a series of alpha decays produces 213Bi (with a half-life of 0.76 h), which is also used for radioimmunotherapy [587] D. Ma, M. R. McDevitt, R. D. Finn, D. A. Scheinberg. Appl. Radiat. Isot.55, 667 (2001)..
Isotopes Used as a Source of Radioactive Isotope(s)
225Ac, which is a pure alpha emitter, is used to produce 213Bi with an 225Ac/ 213Bi radionuclide generator (Fig. IUPAC.89.2). 213Bi is a mixed alpha and beta emitter. The primary mode of decay is by beta emission to the very short-lived, alpha emitter 213Po. The 8.4 MeV alpha particle emitted by 213Po has a path length of 76 μm in human tissue and is responsible for its cytotoxic effects.
Actinium chemistry is almost entirely trivalent, with Ac³⁺ forming colorless or pale salts in the absence of colored counterions. Representative compounds include actinium oxide, Ac₂O₃, actinium fluoride, AcF₃, actinium chloride, AcCl₃, and actinium hydroxide, Ac(OH)₃. The ion is large and hard, so it favors oxygen- and fluorine-donor ligands and forms sparingly soluble fluorides, phosphates, oxalates, and hydroxides. Higher oxidation states are not established for ordinary actinium chemistry.
See more information at the Actinium compound page.
All actinium isotopes are radioactive, and safety depends strongly on isotope, activity, chemical form, and route of exposure. ²²⁷Ac is long-lived enough to persist and produces a chain of radioactive daughters, while ²²⁵Ac is a potent alpha emitter used only under controlled radiochemical conditions. Internal uptake is the principal concern because alpha particles cause severe local ionization in tissue. External gamma radiation from daughter products can also require shielding and remote handling.
Natural actinium occurs at trace levels in uranium-bearing minerals as part of decay chains and is continuously formed and lost by radioactive decay. In the environment Ac³⁺ is expected to bind strongly to mineral surfaces, organic matter, and phosphate- or carbonate-containing solids, limiting mobility under many conditions. It has no known biological role. Releases outside specialized nuclear or radiochemical settings are uncommon, and environmental behavior is inferred largely from tracer studies and analog chemistry.
Actinium is not traded as a bulk commodity. Usable quantities are obtained by radiochemical separation from decay products or by accelerator and reactor routes, depending on the isotope required. ²²⁵Ac supply is especially constrained because it must be isolated from suitable parent nuclides or produced by irradiation, followed by difficult purification from chemically similar actinides and radioactive daughters. Costs and availability are therefore governed by nuclear infrastructure, isotope purity, licensing, and short logistical timelines rather than mining demand. Recycling is mainly recovery from radiochemical processing streams.
Extremely rare, found in all uranium ores. Usually obtained by treating radium with neutrons in a reactor.
Actinium has no stable isotopes, so any primordial actinium has long since decayed. In nature and in planetary materials it exists only as a transient member of heavy-element decay chains, especially those derived from uranium and thorium. The heavy nuclei that ultimately feed these chains were produced by neutron-capture processes in earlier stellar events, but actinium itself is not a significant cosmic reservoir.
- Actinium was discovered through its radioactivity before its chemistry could be studied in ordinary amounts.
- The name comes from the Greek word for a ray or beam.
- ²²⁷Ac is a decay product in the ²³⁵U series.
- The element is usually handled at tracer scale, where carrier chemistry is often needed.
- Ac³⁺ is among the largest tripositive actinide ions.
- Separating actinium from lanthanum is chemically difficult because their ionic behavior is similar.
