Abstract 4f chemistry studies the chemical bonding characteristics of fifteen lanthanide (Ln)
elements in the periodic table and their wide applications in materials sciences and …

Luminescent metal–organic frameworks (LMOFs) have been extensively used as sensitive
and selective sensors for carcinogenic chromium (VI) oxyanions. However, the correlation …

Previous magnetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies of cerocene, Ce (C8H8) 2, have
provided evidence for non-negligible 4f-electron density on Ce and implied that charge …

Real-time and visual monitoring of pollutants in the air is of great importance since they are
usually cannot be seen, smelled, or touched. Lanthanide nano-cluster is a kind of …

Soft donor ligands often provide higher selectivity for actinides (III) over chemically similar
lanthanides (III), eg, in the AmIII–EuIII pair. Frequently, the origin of such selectivity is …

The geometric and electronic structures of AnCl3 are studied computationally using scalar
relativistic, hybrid density functional theory (PBE0). The An–Cl bond lengths generally …

A novel actinide-containing coordination polymer,[Am (C2O4)(H2O) 3Cl](Am-1), has been
synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystallographic analysis reveals that the …

The mellitate ion is relevant in spent nuclear fuel processing and is utilized as a surrogate
for studying the interactions of f elements with humic acids. A wealth of different coordination …

Multiscale rare earth crystal materials hold great promise for a wide range of applications,
including bioimaging diagnosis, therapy, lighting, lasers, motors, and security. Rare earth …

A series of tetradentate N2O2-type Schiff base complexes with tetravalent 4f-and 5f-block
metals,[M (salpn) 2](H2salpn= N, N′-disalicylidene-1, 3-diaminopropane; M= Ce, Th, U …
