Trying to write nuclear reactions

Here is an interesting reaction: (using <chem>):

${\ce {{^{230}_{90}Th}+n->{^{231}_{90}Th}+\gamma ->[\beta ^{-}][{\text{25.5 h}}]{^{231}_{91}Pa}\ (->[\alpha ][3.28\times 10^{4}{\text{y}}]{^{227}_{89}Ac})}}$

Using <chem> and nuclear reaction notation:

${\ce {{^{230}_{90}Th}->[{\text{(n,}}\gamma {\text{)}}]{^{231}_{90}Th}->[\beta ^{-}][{\text{25.5 h}}]{^{231}_{91}Pa}->[{\text{(n,}}\gamma {\text{)}}]{^{232}_{91}Pa}->[\beta ^{-}][{\text{1.3 d}}]{^{232}_{92}U}\ (->[\alpha ][69{\text{y}}]{^{228}_{90}Th})}}$

Using <chem> and nuclear reaction notation, no arrows:

${\ce {{^{230}_{90}Th}~(n,\gamma )~{^{231}_{90}Th}~({\beta }^{-}{\text{25.5 h}})~}}$

Fails because \text command messes up. No decent docu available for <chem>.
