Superheavy elements only exist due to nuclear shell effects, which stabilize them against spontaneous fission. Theoretical calculations predicted deformed shell closures at Z=108 and at N=162, creating a region of enhanced stability around 270Hs, confirmed in recent Hs chemistry experiments. Recently, the formation of deformed doubly-magic 270Hs in the 4n evaporation channel of several complete fusion reactions was theoretically studied. The aim of the research done in the framework of this thesis was to study the influence of the reaction (B-Q)-value on the yield of superheavy elements produced in nuclear fusion reactions. Therefore the most promising reactions 36S+238U and 48Ca+226Ra have been investigated and compared with the already measured reaction 26Mg+248Cm.
