1845 J. F. W. Herschel in Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1844 12 A contribution to the newly created science of actino-chemistry.
1877 Harper's Mag. Apr. 748/1 In addition to the special interest of these experiments on plant life, they had a very important bearing on the general principles of actino-chemistry.
1914 Science 27 Feb. 329/2 The subjects of Thermochemistry, Equilibrium, Electromotive Force and Actinochemistry are very clearly and satisfactorily handled.
