85Zr, 169Hf, and 261Rf were produced simultaneously from natGe (18O, xn), natGd (18O, xn), and 248Cm (18O, 5n) reactions, respectively, and the volatility of their chlorides was examined using an isothermal gas chromatographic system. The observed gas chromatogram indicated that ZrCl4, HfCl4, and RfCl4 had almost similar volatility.
