lawrencium, element 103 T. K. Sato, et al., Nature Vol. 520, 9 April 2015. Press Release at April 9 [Download] |
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. |
Fluorido Complex Formation of Element 104, Rutherfordium (Rf) Y. Ishii, et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 84, 903-911 (2011). |
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. |
