Further considerations on entropy estimations of actinide compounds: AmCl3 and AmCl2

The standard entropy Sdegrees (298.15 K) of AmCl2 has been estimated by extrapolation of the available data for the lanthanide(II) chlorides to the actinide series. A further refinement of this procedure for the actinide trichlorides is also presented which, however, does not affect the value for AmCl3 reported previously. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science BY.
