The Chemistry of the Heaviest Elements

Theory and Experiment

  • Chapter
Theoretical Chemistry and Physics of Heavy and Superheavy Elements

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 11))

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental investigations of the chemical properties of the heaviest elements are among the most fundamental and important in all of chemistry. They seek to probe the uppermost reaches of the periodic table of the elements where the influence of relativistic effects on chemical properties should be the strongest and where deviations from simple extrapolation of known trends within chemical groups have been observed. The improvement in experimental techniques for “atom-at-a-time” studies of elements with both short half-lives and small production rates has made the last decade especially fruitful in furnishing new results for elements through 108 and preliminary reports of element 112 chemistry. The new wave of theoretical investigations based on molecular relativistic calculations aimed at helping experimentalists design these sophisticated and resource intensive experiments to answer important theoretical questions have resulted in landmark accomplishments. These synergistic interactions between theory and experiment have led to a better understanding of the chemistry of the heaviest elements and the role and magnitude of relativistic effects. Theoretical predictions and experimental results to date are reviewed and compared, and predictions of chemical properties for elements as heavy as 118 are summarized.
