Trans-lawrencium elements

Waber, J.T., Cromer, D.T., Liberman, D. SCE Dirac-Slater calculations of the trans-lawrencium elements. J. Chem. Phys. 51, 664—668 (1969)... 

Controversy about the first synthesis of new chemical elements in the trans-lawrencium region has recently been resolved by a joint lUPAC and lUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) committee. CNIC has assigned names that appear to have been internationally accepted for these elements. Although I have relied on the lUPAC/IUPAP document to discuss elements up to Meitnerium, for elements above Z = 109, the analysis provided is strictly my own due to my reading and interpretation of the scientific literature. 

Elements 100-103 and the Trans-actinides. The elements 100-103 appear to have the + 3 state, but the + 2 state seems to be more stable than the + 2 state at the end of the lanthanide series. Thus Md3+ is readily reduced to Md2+, and for No the +2 state is the most stable. The last actinide, lawrencium, appears to be most stable in the +3 state (cf. lutetium).54...
