Hudson's Australian patent: orbitally rearranged monoatomic elements

"This invention relates to the monoatomic forms of certain transition and noble metal elements, namely, gold, silver, copper, cobalt, nickel and the six platinum group elements.
More particularly, this invention relates to the separation of the aforesaid elements from naturally occurring materials in their orbitally rearranged monoatomic forms, and to the preparation of the elements in their orbitally rearranged monoatomic forms from their commercial metallic forms.
The materials of this invention are stable, substantially pure, non-metallic-like forms of the elements, and have a hereto unknown electron orbital rearrangement in the 'd', 's', and vacant 'p' orbitals.
The electron rearrangement bestows upon the monoatomic elements unique electronic, chemical, magnetic, and physical properties which have commercial application.
This invention also relates to the recovery of the metallic form of each of the aforesaid transition and noble metal elements from the orbitally rearranged monoatomic forms. "
