SUMMARY

The discussion centers on compiling the first five ionization potentials (IPs) for Protactinium. The user successfully located the first three IPs from two specific sources: the University of Michigan's astro site and Gordon England's element page. However, they encountered difficulties finding the fourth and fifth IPs, noting that the CRC and NIST databases only provide the first IP. A reference to the work by G.V. Ionova et al. in the Journal of Physical Chemistry (1992) is mentioned as a potential source for the missing data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ionization potentials in atomic physics
  • Familiarity with Protactinium's chemical properties
  • Knowledge of scientific literature and databases like CRC and NIST
  • Ability to access and interpret journal articles, specifically J. Phys. Chem.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the article by G.V. Ionova et al. in J. Phys. Chem. for additional ionization potentials
  • Explore advanced databases for atomic data, such as the NIST Atomic Spectra Database
  • Investigate other academic publications on Protactinium's ionization potentials
  • Review methods for calculating ionization potentials theoretically or experimentally
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, physicists, and researchers focusing on atomic properties and ionization energies, particularly those studying Protactinium and related elements.

I'm trying to compile the first five IP's for Protactinium.

I was able to find 1-3 on these two sites

http://www.astro.lsa.umich.edu/~cowley/ionen.htm
http://www.gordonengland.co.uk/elements/pa.htm

But am coming up with nothing for the 4th or 5th IP. Does anyone have any possible sources for 4 and 5? I checked CRC and they only have the 1st IP, ditto for NIST.
