 **Abstract** **Abstract**
 <​blockquote>​Chemically characterizing superheavy elements (Z > 103) helps us understand how relativistic effects shape the chemistry of the (superheavy) members of the periodic table. As there is no evidence for their existence in nature, short-lived radioisotopes of these exotic elements must be produced one atom at a time using intense heavy-ion beams from large accelerators directed onto heavy actinide targets. The recoiling nuclear reaction products emerge with translational energies of several tens of MeV - far beyond what chemists would normally consider “useful.” But how can one perform a chemistry experiment under such unusual conditions, and what chemical information can be extracted? This talk will first introduce the basic principles of gas-phase chemistry experiments with superheavy elements. It will then highlight selected case studies, focusing on moscovium (Mc, Z = 115) and nihonium (Nh, Z = 113) as well as livermorium (Lv, Z = 116). Finally, we will explore how these fundamental experiments connect to more applied topics, including their relevance to Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts.</​blockquote>​ <​blockquote>​Chemically characterizing superheavy elements (Z > 103) helps us understand how relativistic effects shape the chemistry of the (superheavy) members of the periodic table.
