Structure of the odd- N superheavy elements with Z≲118 and N≲175 is investigated using the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with pairing. Microscopic analysis of one-quasiparticle neutron states, alpha-decay energies, and deformations is performed. Good agreement was obtained with the recently reported α-decay chains of 289114 and 293118.
