Iodine, in ethyl iodides

In the work reported here, which was directed toward the attainment of an isotopic enrichment of the trivalent actinide and lanthanide elements, the problem was compounded by the fact that these elements do not readily form appropriate compounds, like iodine in ethyl iodide. They do form some stable organic chelates, and, indeed, it is possible to obtain a Szilard-Chalmers reaction with such compounds. However, their radiation damage resistance does not appear adequate to permit useful production of an isotope like 247Cm, which requires a thermal neutron exposure ap-... 

The chemical fate of a hot-atom produced by a nuclear reaction was perhaps first studied by Szilard and Chalmers (1934) who carried out the reaction on iodine in ethyl iodide. They observed that... 

Following the above mechanical use of nuclear recoil, purely chemical effects of nuclear recoil were observed by Szilard and Chalmers (1934a, b) in 1934. They used (n,y) reaction of iodine in ethyl iodide. The product of neutron capture, I, could be chemically extracted into an aqueous phase after mixing ethyl iodide with water.
