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 …

The heaviest elements to have been chemically characterized are seaborgium (element
106), bohrium (element 107) and hassium (element 108). All three behave according to their …

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 highest accessible formal oxidation states of the d-block elements are scrutinized, both
with respect to the available experimental evidence and quantum-chemical predictions. The …

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

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

Chemical investigations of superheavy elements in the gas-phase, ie elements with Z≥ 104,
allow assessing the influence of relativistic effects on their chemical properties. Furthermore …

Theoretical chemical studies demonstrated crucial importance of relativistic effects in the
physics and chemistry of superheavy elements (SHEs). Performed, with many of them, in a …

Spectacular developments in the relativistic quantum theory and computational algorithms in
the last few decades allowed for accurate calculations of properties of the superheavy …
