After Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and, independently, Julius Lothar Meyer, and others
discovered the ordering principles of the elements, Mendeleev proposed the first valid …

The number of chemical elements has increased considerably in the last few decades. Most
excitingly, these heaviest, man‐made elements at the far‐end of the Periodic Table are …

Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity in 1905. For a long time it was believed that
this theory has no significant impact on chemistry. This view changed in the 1970s when it …

The current status of relativistic electronic structure theory for superheavy elements is
reviewed. Recent developments in relativistic quantum theory have made it possible to …

High-accuracy calculations of atomic properties of the superheavy elements (SHE) up to
element 122 are reviewed. The properties discussed include ionization potentials, electron …

The synthesis, via nuclear fusion reactions, of elements heavier than the actinides, allows
one to probe the limits of the periodic table as a means of classifying the elements. In …

During the last 20 years the end of the periodic table has been a subject of both
experimental and theoretical interest. Discovery of new elements and their long-lived …

Theoretical chemical studies demonstrated crucial importance of relativistic effects in the
physics and chemistry of superheavy elements (SHEs). Performed, with many of them, in a …

The relativistic Fock-space coupled-cluster method was applied to the Yb, Lu, and Lr atoms,
and to several of their ions. A large number of transition energies was calculated for these …

Relativistic effects are of major importance for understanding the properties of heavier atoms
and molecules. Volumes I-III of Relativistic Theory of Atoms and Molecules constitute the …
