Chemistry has arrived on the shore of the Island of Stability with the first chemical investigation of the superheavy elements Cn, 113, and 114. The results of three experimental series leading to first measured thermodynamic data and qualitatively evaluated chemical properties for these elements are described. An interesting volatile compound class has been observed in the on-line experiments for the elements Bi and Po. Hence, an exciting chemical study of their heavier transactinide…

TLDR
An all-electron four-component Dirac-Kohn-Sham comparative study of the interaction of gold with Cn, Fl, and Uuo versus their lighter homologues of the 6th period plus the noble gas Xe reveals similarities in the behaviour of Cn and Xe, and in that of Uuo and the more reactive species Hg and Pb.

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 investigation of hassium (element 108)
TLDR
Evidence that the chemical properties of hassium and its lighter homologue osmium are similar is provided, thus confirming that hassio exhibits properties as expected from its position in group 8 of the periodic table.
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…

Chemical characterization of element 112
TLDR
A more reliable chemical characterization of element 112, involving the production of two atoms of 283112 through the alpha decay of the short-lived 287114 and the adsorption of the two atoms on a gold surface, finds that element 112 is very volatile and, unlike radon, reveals a metallic interaction with the gold surface.
