Observation of relativistic bond weakening in seaborgium hexacarbonyl
Abstract The seventh row of the periodic table of the elements has been completed with the discovery of the five heaviest elements from flerovium (Fl, Z = 114) through oganesson (Og, Z = 118) 1 . Chemical properties of the superheavy elements (SHE, Z ≥ 104) are unique owing to th...

Abstract Curium is the heaviest element resulting from nuclear power generation and is present in spent nuclear fuel. Macroscopic amounts of transcurium elements are produced by high thermal-neutron flux irradiation of curium targets in a complex process involving many neutron ca...
