The periodic table provides a classification of the chemical properties of the elements. But for the heaviest elements, the transactinides, this role of the periodic table reaches its limits because increasingly strong relativistic effects on the valence electron shells can induce deviations from known trends in chemical properties. In the case of the first two transactinides, elements 104 and 105, relativistic effects do indeed influence their chemical properties, whereas elements 106 and 107…

Indication for a volatile element 114
Abstract Recently, the chemical investigation of element 112 revealed a highly volatile, noble metallic behaviour, as expected for the last group 12 member of the periodic table. The observed…
Superheavy element chemistry at GSI – status and perspectives
Abstract.Superheavy elements have been synthesized and chemically characterized one-atom-at-a-time up to element 108. Presently, the quest for identification and investigation of element 112 is one…
Gas-Phase Chemistry of Superheavy Elements
This chapter summarizes gas chemical studies of transactinides using two approaches, gas thermochromatography and isothermal gas chromatography. Both techniques enabled successful chemical studies of…
Aqueous-phase chemistry of the transactinides
Abstract The experimental techniques developed to perform rapid chemical separations of the heaviest elements in the aqueous phase are presented. In general, these include transport of the nuclear…
Superheavy element flerovium (element 114) is a volatile metal.
TLDR
A gas-solid chromatography study of the adsorption of Fl on a Au surface points to the formation of a metal-metal bond of Fl with Au, the least reactive element in the group, but still a metal.
de Chemistry of the superheavy elements
The quest for superheavy elements (SHEs) is driven by the desire to find and explore one of the extreme limits of existence of matter. These elements exist solely due to their nuclear shell…

Co-precipitation behaviour of single atoms of rutherfordium in basic solutions
TLDR
A co-precipitation method with samarium has now been developed that suggests rutherfordium would form hydroxide precipitates—but not ammine ones—if it were possible to perform these experiments on macroscopic quantities.
Chemistry of superheavy elements.
TLDR
These results place the architecture of the far-end of the Periodic Table on the test bench and probe the increasingly strong relativistic effects that influence the chemical properties there.

Chemical characterization of bohrium (element 107)
TLDR
The chemical separation and characterization of six atoms of element 107 (bohrium, Bh), in the form of its oxychloride, is reported, finding that this compound is less volatile than the oxychlorides of the lighter elements of group VII, thus confirming relativistic calculations that predict the behaviour of bohrium to coincide with that expected on the basis of its position in the periodic table.
The identification of element 108
TLDR
The aim was to produce element 108 by complete fusion of S'Fe with 2~ followed by evapora- tion of one neutron which leads to the odd mass isotope '6sI08', and to allow an unambiguous identi- fication of the new element in case of its a-decay, the unknown daughter isotope 2~I06 was investigated.
