Ununseptium is the temporary name of a superheavy artificial chemical element with temporary symbol Uus and atomic number 117. Six atoms were detected by a joint Russia–US collaboration at Dubna, Moscow Oblast, Russia, in November 2010.[9][10] Although it is currently placed as the heaviest member of the halogen family, there is no experimental evidence that the chemical properties of ununseptium match those of the lighter members like iodine or astatine and theoretical analysis suggests there may be some notable differences.
History
Pre-discovery
Discovery
Between July 2009 and February 2010, the team at the JINR (Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions) ran a 7-month-long experiment to synthesize ununseptium using the reaction above.[11] The expected cross-section was of the order of 2 pb. The expected evaporation residues, 293Uus and 294Uus, were predicted to decay via relatively long decay chains as far as isotopes of dubnium or lawrencium.
In January 2010, scientists at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions announced internally[10] that they had succeeded in detecting the decay of a new element with Z=117 using the reactions:

Just six atoms were synthesized of two neighbouring isotopes, neither of which decayed to known isotopes of lighter elements. Their results were published on 9 April 2010 in the journal Physical Review Letters.[12]
-
Calculated decay chains from the parent nuclei 293Uus and 294 Uus[13]
-
Calculated excitation function for the production of the compound nucleus 297Uus from the reaction 249Bk( 48Ca,xn) [13]
The team published a scientific paper in April 2010 (first results were presented in January 2010[10]) that six atoms of the neighbouring isotopes 294Uus (one atom) and 293Uus (five atoms) were detected. The heavier isotope decayed by the successive emission of six alpha particles down as far as the new isotope 270Db which underwent apparent spontaneous fission. On the other hand, the lighter odd-even isotope decayed by the emission of just three alpha particles, as far as 281Rg, which underwent spontaneous fission. The reaction was run at two different excitation energies of 35 MeV (dose 2x1019) and 39 MeV (dose 2.4×1019). Initial decay data was published as a preliminary presentation on the JINR website.[14]
A further experiment in May 2010, looking at the chemistry of one of the decay products, ununtrium, identified a further two atoms derived from 294117.
Naming
The element with atomic number 117 is historically known as eka-astatine. The name ununseptium is a systematic element name, used as a placeholder until the discovery is acknowledged by the IUPAC, and the IUPAC decides on a name. Usually, the name suggested by the discoverer(s) is chosen.
According to current guidelines from IUPAC, the ultimate name for all new elements should end in "-ium", which means the name for ununseptium may end in -ium, not -ine, even if ununseptium turns out to be a halogen.[15]

247Bk | 48Ca | 295Uus | 3n (292Uus) | 0.8, 0.9 pb | DNS | [16][17] |
Decay characteristics
Theoretical calculations in a quantum tunneling model with mass estimates from a macroscopic-microscopic model predict the alpha-decay half-lives of isotopes of ununseptium (namely, 289–303Uus) to be around 0.1–40 ms.[18][19][20]
Extrapolated chemical
Certain chemical properties, such as bond lengths, are predicted to differ from what one would expect based on periodic trends from the lighter halogens (because of relativistic effects). It may have some metalloid properties, similar to astatine.[21] For example, solid ununseptium should resemble astatine in its metallic appearance, and it is expected that ununseptium will show dominant +1 and +3 oxidation states instead of the −1 oxidation state common to all the natural halogens.[22]
