Seaborgium hexacarbonyl


Seaborgium hexacarbonyl is the organometallic compound with the formula. Like its chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten analogs, it is a volatile derivative of seaborgium in its zero oxidation state. Seaborgium hexacarbonyl has little practical usage, outside of scientific interest, where it and other transactinide compounds are studied to shed light on relativistic effects on electronic structure as a consequence of high nuclear charge.

Synthesis

can be prepared by passing seaborgium atoms through a helium and carbon monoxide mixture:

Reactivity

Seaborgium hexacarbonyl reacts and interacts with a surface in ways closely resembling its lighter structural analogs, molybdenum hexacarbonyl and tungsten hexacarbonyl.
