Abstract

A Periodic System was proposed for the elements 1–172 by Pyykkö on the basis of atomic and ionic calculations. In it, the elements 121–138 were nominally assigned to a 5g row. We now perform molecular, relativistic four-component DFT calculations and find that the hexafluorides of the elements 125–129 indeed enjoy occupied 5g states.
