Recent progress in theoretical investigations of the electronic structure of the transactinides

摘要

An overview is given of the recent development in the theory of molecular codes focusing on a newly developed version of the Dirac-Slater discrete-variational (DS-DV) method far complex multiatomic systems. Emphasis is put on the calculations of the chemical bonding in heavy element compounds. A new model to predict complex formation and extraction of the transactinides on the basis of the DS-DV molecular-orbital calculations is presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. [References: 30]
