The historical roots, the discovery and the modern relevance of Dmitri Mendeleev's remarkable advance have been the subject of numerous scholarly works. Here, with a brief overview, we hope to provide a link into the contents of this special issue honouring the great scientist. Mendeleev's advance, announced in March 1869, as he put it in 1889, to the ‘… then youthful Russian Chemical Society… ’, first set out the very basis of the periodic law of the chemical elements, the natural relation between the properties of the elements and their atomic weights. This was, and still is, the centrepiece of a historical journey for chemistry to today's position as a pre-eminent science. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Mendeleev and the periodic table'.

“…See references [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and those within. Studies of the chemical properties of new heavy elements are being employed to establish their chemical families and serve to provide stringent new tests of our understanding of relativistic effects in electron structure [10][11][12][13].…”

Experimental survey of the production of α -decaying heavy elements in U238+Th232 reactions at 7.5–6.1 MeV/nu

The production of alpha particle decaying heavy nuclei in reactions of 7.5-6.1 MeV/nucleon 238 U + 232 Th has been explored using an in-beam detection array composed of YAP scintillators and gas ionization chamber-Si telescopes. Comparisons of alpha energies and half-lives for the observed products with those of the previously known isotopes and with theoretically predicted values indicate the observation of a number of previously unreported alpha emitters. Alpha particle decay energies reaching as high as 12 MeV are observed. Many of these are expected to be from decay of previously unseen relatively neutron rich products. While the contributions of isomeric states require further exploration and specific isotope identifications need to be made, the production of heavy isotopes with quite high atomic numbers is suggested by the data.

“…As in previous years, several of these issues were based on information presented at one of the prestigious Royal Society discussion or Theo Murphy meetings. Notable examples of these issues include: 'Before, behind and beyond the discovery of the Higgs boson' [2]; 'The new chemistry of the elements' [3]; 'Arctic sea ice reduction: the evidence, models and impacts' [4]; and 'Feedbacks on climate in the Earth system' [5]. Also, the journal always welcomes new proposals for prospective issues that focus on a research topic in the physical, mathematical and engineering sciences of current significance and impact.…”
