Chemistry and properties of Ln(III)
•
•
•
•
•
Oxidation state +III is most common
Hard acids
Prefer hard donor atoms O>N>>P,S
Large cations
Large coordination numbers
– Core 4f electrons
– Omnidirectional/ionic bonding
– Coordination numbers dictated by steric bulk of ligands
• Similar ionic radii
• Magnetism
• Light emission due to f-f transitions
–

–
Core 4f orbitals
Characteristic emission colors
Sharp emission bands
f-f transitions forbidden by selection rules
