Abstract Evaporation residues from the fusion of the nearly symmetric systems86Kr+123Sb and124Sn+94Zr have been detected. The compound nucleus218Th could be produced with an excitation energy as low as 21 MeV. The barriers for the formation of a compound nucleus were deduced from the evaporation residue cross sections. There is no evidence for an additional amount of energy needed to fuse these systems, if compared with the extrapolation of fusion barrier systematics or with results of fusion model calculations not including friction phenomena. One of the systems reaches a value ofZ 1·Z 2=2,000, about the highest value where evaporation residues have ever been observed.
