Fully relativistic electronic structure calculations have been performed for gas phase and aqueous phase compounds of elements 104 through 108. Based on these calculations, volatility and complex formation, as well as trends in these properties, have been predicted. The transactinide compounds were shown to exhibit properties very similar to those of the lighter homologs in the respective chemical groups. Some deviations from the observed trends were established.
