The focus of this review is the presentation of the most important aspects of chemical
bonding in molecules of the main group atoms according to the current state of knowledge …

Relativistic effects can strongly influence the chemical and physical properties of heavy
elements and their compounds. This influence has been noted in inorganic chemistry …

Colloidal CsPbX3 (X= Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) are being explored extensively as an
interesting variety of defect-tolerant materials, wherein high efficiencies of optical and …

The concept of valence and core electrons is familiar to every chemist and underlying, for
example, the ordering of the elements in the periodic table. For many qualitative …

Mendeleev's introduction of the periodic table of elements is one of the most important
milestones in the history of chemistry, as it brought order into the known chemical and …

After Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and, independently, Julius Lothar Meyer, and others
discovered the ordering principles of the elements, Mendeleev proposed the first valid …

During the last decade, six new superheavy elements were added into the seventh period of
the periodic table, with the approval of their names and symbols. This milestone was …

The electron shell structure of superheavy elements, ie, elements with atomic number Z≥
104, is influenced by strong relativistic effects caused by the high Z. Early atomic …

The disproportionation of H 2 O into solar fuels H 2 and O 2, or water splitting, is a promising
strategy for clean energy harvesting and storage but requires the concerted action of …

The current status of relativistic electronic structure theory for superheavy elements is
reviewed. Recent developments in relativistic quantum theory have made it possible to …
