A polonide is a chemical compound of polonium with an element from groups 1–15 of the periodic table (including hydrogen, the lanthanoids and the actinoids).[1] Polonides are amongst the most stable sompounds of polonium,[2] and can be divided into two broad groups:
- ionic polonides, which appear to contain the Po2− anion;
- intermetallic polonides, in which the bonding is more complex.
As well as polonides which are intermediate between these two cases, there are also non-stoichiometric polonides and alloys of polonium. As would be expected from periodicity, polonides are often structurally and chemically similar to tellurides.
