The electronic structure and properties of group 8 oxides MO4, where M=Ru, Os, and Element 108, Hs

Fully relativistic density functional calculations have been performed for group 8 tetroxides MO4, where M=Ru, Os, and element 108, Hs. The electronic structure analysis has shown HsO4 to be very similar to OsO4, with the covalence and stability increasing from OsO4 to HsO4. Using models of atom-slab interactions, adsorption enthalpies of RuO4 and HsO4 on the quartz surface have been calculated using some models of physisorption. The volatility of the single species was shown to have the following trend, RuO4
