  2. Astatine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astatine

    Astatine-218 was the first astatine isotope discovered in nature. [113] Astatine-219, with a half-life of 56 seconds, is the longest lived of the naturally occurring isotopes. [6] Isotopes of astatine are sometimes not listed as naturally occurring because of misconceptions [103] that there are no such isotopes, [114] or discrepancies in the ...

    Astatine is also thought to be capable of forming cations in salts with oxyanions such as iodate or dichromate; this is based on the observation that, in acidic solutions, monovalent or intermediate positive states of astatine coprecipitate with the insoluble salts of metal cations such as silver(I) iodate or thallium(I) dichromate.

  8. Organoastatine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organoastatine_chemistry

    Organoastatine chemistry describes the synthesis and properties of organoastatine compounds, chemical compounds containing a carbon to astatine chemical bond. Astatine is extremely radioactive, with the longest-lived isotope (210 At) having a half-life of only 8.1 hours. Consequently, organoastatine chemistry can only be studied by tracer ...
