MONO-ATOMIC FORM WITH REARRANGED ORBITALS OF NOBLE METAL AND TRANSITIONAL ELEMENTS, PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND PROCESSING IT TO THE METAL, PROCESS FOR TREATING SAME AND PRODUCT THUS OBTAINED

摘要

P The invention relates to stable, mono-atomic, non-metallic forms, with rearranged orbitals, of transition elements chosen from cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium and osmium, having a doublet between 1400 and 1600 cm ** - ** 1 in their infrared spectrum and having one or more orbital vacancies d sharing energy with one or more electrons. These substances are produced either from ores where conventional analysis does not detect any of the said noble and transition metals, or by transformation of pure metals or metal salts of the said elements into these mono-atomic forms with rearranged orbitals. /P P Applications to catalysts, high temperature ceramic products, refractory and corrosion resistant materials, high temperature superconductors and power generation. /P
