A comprehensive approach for elucidating the interplay between 4fn+1 and 4fn5d1 configurations in Ln2+ complexes
Maria J. Beltran-Leiva, William N. G. Moore, Tener F. Jenkins, William J. Evans, Thomas E. Albrecht, Cristian Celis-BarrosTo advance our ability to control the electronic properties of divalent lanthanides, the interplay between deformation densities, 4f interelectronic repulsion, and ligand field effects is discussed to predict the nature of their ground states.
