Synthesis and detection of a seaborgium carbonyl complex
J. Even, et al., Science 345, 1491-1493 (2014).

For the first time, a chemical bond was established between a superheavy element - seaborgium (element 106) in the present study - and a carbon atom by an international collaboration. Seaborgium were converted into seaborgium hexacarbonyl complexes. Its gaseous properties and adsorption to a silicon dioxide surface were studied, and compared with similar compounds of neighbors of seaborgium in the same group of the periodic table.

Oxidation of element 102, nobelium, with flow electrolytic column chromatography on an atom-at-a-time scale
A. Toyoshima, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 131, 9180-9181 (2009)
Nobelium (No) is successfully oxidized with a developed electrochemistry technique available for single atoms.
