AI, and Hg are next to each other on the periodic table, just on the metal / non-metal boundary, beneath them are the Rg, and Cn.
Rg Roentgenium has a short half life, but seems to be tricky to make, it is expected to show some Relativistic properties though:

Cn Copernicum, according to Wikipedia seems to show RQM effects it acting like a noble gas, albeit one with a half-life of at most 28s:

If so why only these too? I’d expect there to be several others with mysterious properties too.
