This element can be transferred from water to toluene by using TOAB as a phase-transfer agent in the Brust-Schiffrin method, while adding small amounts of sodium citrate is used in a similar method for this element that was first employed by Turkevich. Relativistic contractions in this element's s orbitals shifts them closer to its d orbitals, causing it to absorb blue light in a manner similar to (*) cesium. At one point, liquid mercury was used to extract this metal from ores, but it is now mostly extracted through cyanide leaching. It's not platinum, but this metal is often refined using a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid called aqua regia. An alternate name for iron pyrite comes from the fact that it resembles this element. For 1
