Superheavy elements have provided a good test of the validity of both nuclear structure models and nuclear decay models in a large mass region. We firstly review the recent progress on theoretical studies of superheavy nuclei. Emphasis is placed on the structure and decay of superheavy nuclei. Then theoretical results of odd-odd nuclei with Z = 109 - 115 are presented and discussed. It is clearly demonstrated that there is shape coexistence for the ground state of many superheavy nuclei from different models and many superheavy nuclei are deformed. In some cases superdeformation can become the ground state of superheavy nuclei and it is important for future studies of superheavy nuclei. This can lead to the existence of low-energy isomers in the superheavy region and it plays an important role for the stability of superheavy nuclei. As α-decay and spontaneous fission plays a crucial role for identifications of new elements, we also review some typical models of α-decay half-lives and spontaneous fissions half-lives. Some new views on superheavy nuclei are presented.

Recent theoretical studies of the molecular and electronic structure of tetra[(phosphine)gold(I)]- phosphonium cations, [(H3PAu)4P]+, gave contradictory results favoring either a classical tetrahedral or a unique square-pyramidal structure of the PAu4 unit. A tetrahedral structure had previously been confirmed for the corresponding ammonium cations [(Ph3PAu)4N]+, while a square-pyramidal structure was discovered for the corresponding arsonium cations [(Ph3PAu)4As]+, but there is as yet no unequivocal experimental evidence for the structure of phosphonium cations like [(Ph3PAu)4P]+ in an innocent environment. - In this account the structural chemistry of this class of onium salts and related species is reviewed. The data accumulated to date provide virtually compelling evidence that the phosphonium cations should have a ground state with a square pyramidal PAu4 core unit, provided that no external constraints are imposed. For large central elements (P, As), aurophilic interactions appear to drive the reorganization from tetrahedral to square-pyramidal skeletons in which a maximum number of short Au---Au contacts can be maintained. For the small central element N, similar interactions are already realized in the tetrahedral structure.
