Theoretical Chemistry of the Heaviest Elements

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Chemistry of Superheavy Elements

Abstract

Theoretical chemical research in the area of the heaviest elements is extremely important. It deals with predictions of properties of exotic species and their behavior in sophisticated and expensive experiments with single atoms and permits the interpretation of experimental results. Spectacular developments in the relativistic quantum theory and computational algorithms have allowed for accurate calculations of electronic structures of the heaviest elements and their compounds. Due to the experimental restrictions in this area, the theoretical studies are often the only source of useful chemical information. The works on relativistic calculations and predictions of chemical properties of elements with Z ≥ 104 are overviewed. Preference is given to those related to the experimental research. The increasingly important role of relativistic effects in this part of the Periodic Table is demonstrated.
