The fourth edition of The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements
comprises the chapters in volumes 1 through 5 of the third edition (published in
2006) plus the newly published volume 6, with the exception that the subject and
author indices and list of contributors now encompass all volumes. Volume 6
(Chapters 32 through 39) consists of new chapters that focus on specialized
topics related to actinide species in the environment, actinide waste forms,
nuclear fuels, analytical chemistry of plutonium, actinide chalcogenide and
hydrothermal synthesis of actinide compounds. Each chapter in volume 6 has
been written to provide sufficient background for the substantial parts of the
readership that are not specialists in these areas of actinide science.
The editors are deeply indebted to the contributors of each chapter of volume 6,
all of whom agreed enthusiastically to write their chapters and all of whom did so
as a labor of love as well as a long-term professional responsibility. We thank
Sonia Ojo and Claudia Culierat of Springer who provided helpful advice during
the production of volume 6.
We note with sadness that Joseph J. Katz, the first author and editor of the
first and second editions, passed away in January 2008. We dedicate this edition
to the memory of Joseph J. Katz and Glenn T. Seaborg.
All of us who participated in writing, editing, and publishing The Chemistry
of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements express our sincere hope that these
volumes will make a substantive contribution to research in actinide science,
and that they will be an appropriate source of factual information for teachers,
researchers, and students and for those who have the responsibility for utilizing
the actinide elements to serve humankind and to control and mitigate their
environmental hazards.
