Knowledge of the electronic structure and properties of element 114 is important for its chemical identification. By comparing its behaviour with that of the lighter group 14 homologues, its position in the periodic table can be confirmed. In this work, we investigate the electron affinity (EA) of element 114, together with its lighter homologues in group 14, Sn and Pb [1]. Electron affinity is...

In this paper, the chemical properties of the transactinide elements rutherfordium, Rf (element 104); dubnium, Db (element 105); and seaborgium, Sg (element 106) are critically reviewed. The experimental methods for performing rapid chemical separations on a time scale of seconds are reviewed, and comments are given on the special situation with the transactinides for which the chemistry has to...

The Amazing and Versatile Carbon – Chemical basis for life With an atomic number of 6, Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the Universe by mass after (Hydrogen Helium and Oxygen). It forms more compounds that any other element, with almost 10 million pure organic compounds. Abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer forming ability at the...

Molecular representation learning contributes to multiple downstream tasks such as molecular property prediction and drug design. To properly represent molecules, graph contrastive is a promising paradigm it utilizes self-supervision signals has no requirements for human annotations. However, prior works fail incorporate fundamental domain knowledge into semantics thus ignore the correlations b...
