LANTHANIDE AND ACTINIDE CHEMISTRY

Lanthanides and actinides, also known as “f elements,” are a group of metals which share certain important properties and aspects of electronic structure. They have a huge range of applications in the production of electronic devices, magnets, superconductors, fuel cells, sensors, and more. The cursory treatment of these important metals in most inorganic chemistry textbooks makes a book-length treatment essential.

Since 2006, Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry has met this need with a thorough, accessible overview. With in-depth accounts of the lanthanides, actinides, and transactinides, this book is ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in inorganic chemistry or chemical engineering courses. Now updated to reflect groundbreaking recent research, this promises to continue as the essential introductory volume on the subject.

Readers of the second edition of Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry will also find:

• New and expanded subject areas including lanthanide enzymes, single-molecule magnets, luminescence and upconversion, organometallic and coordination chemistry; and many more.
• Up-to-date information on the myriad modern applications of f-elements
• Lists of objectives and learning goals at the start of each chapter

Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry is ideal for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in f-element chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or any related field.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY ADVANCED TEXTBOOK

This series reflects the pivotal role of modern inorganic and physical chemistry in a whole range of emerging areas, such as materials chemistry, green chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding in established areas such as solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and physical inorganic chemistry.

Preface to the Second Edition

In the period since the first edition was written, much has happened in the field of the f‐block elements, with new areas developing and massive advances in more established fields. I have tried to reflect that in these pages. Demands on space have meant that I have omitted the section on lanthanides in organic chemistry that appeared in the first edition. On the other hand, the bibliography has been greatly expanded, which I hope will be of use to readers. I am most grateful to all who have helped me produce this edition, particularly the patient Sarah Higginbotham.

This edition is dedicated to the memory of Alan Hart (1929–2022). It is over 30 years since he retired as Reader in Inorganic Chemistry at Queen Mary College, London, and many readers will wonder who he was. Alan was a pioneer in rare earth chemistry, one of his achievements being to demonstrate that these elements regularly had coordination numbers considerably greater than six in their compounds. He led the early studies into lanthanide shift reagents; simultaneously two of his researchers made the first three‐ and four‐ coordinate compounds of the lanthanides. The present writer had the opportunity to share with him in the writing of the text The Heavy Transition Elements (1975); it was a privilege to work for this modest and self‐effacing man, who was the antithesis of ‘celebrity’.

Preface to the First Edition

This book is aimed at providing a sound introduction to the chemistry of the lanthanides, actinides, and transactinides to undergraduate students. I hope that it will also be of value to teachers of these courses. Whilst not being anything resembling a comprehensive monograph, it does attempt to give a factual basis to the area, and the reader can use a fairly comprehensive bibliography to range further.

Since I wrote a previous book in this area (1991), the reader may wonder why on earth I have bothered again. The world of f‐block chemistry has moved on. It is one of active and important research, with names like Bünzli, Evans, Ephritikhine, Lappert, Marks and Parker familiar worldwide (I am conscious that I will have unintentionally omitted names). Not only have several more elements been synthesized (and claims made for others), but lanthanides and their compounds are routinely employed in many areas of synthetic organic chemistry; gadolinium compounds find routine application in MRI scans; and there are other spectroscopic applications, notably in luminescence. Whilst some areas are hardly changed, at this level at least (e.g. actinide magnetism and spectroscopy), a lot more compounds have been described, accounting for the length of the chapters on coordination and organometallic chemistry. I have tried to spell out the energetics of lanthanide chemistry in more detail, and I have also provided some end‐of‐chapter questions, of variable difficulty, which may prove useful for tutorials. I have supplied most, but not all, of the answers to these in the second edition.(my answers, which are not always definitive).

It is a pleasure to thank all those who have contributed to the book: Professor Derek Woollins, for much encouragement at different stages of the project; Professor James Anderson, for many valuable comments; Martyn Berry, who supplied valuable comment on early versions of several chapters; to Professors Michel Ephritikhine, Allan White and Jack Harrowfield, and Dr J.A.G. Williams, and many others, for exchanging e‐mails, correspondence and ideas. I’m very grateful to Dr Mary P. Neu for much information on plutonium. The staff of the Libraries of the Chemistry Department of Cambridge University and of the Royal Society of Chemistry, as well as the British Library, have been quite indispensable in helping with access to the primary literature. I would also wish to thank a number of friends – once again Dr Alan Hart, who got me interested in lanthanides in the first place; Professor James Anderson (again), Dr Andrew Platt, Dr John Fawcett, and Professor Paul Raithby, for continued research collaboration and obtaining spectra and structures from unpromising crystals, so that I have kept a toe‐hold in the area. Over the last eight years, a number of Uppingham sixth form students have contributed to my efforts in lanthanide coordination chemistry – John Bower, Oliver Noy, Rachel How, Vilius Franckevicius, Leon Catallo, Franz Niecknig, Victoria Fisher, Alex Tait, and Joanna Harris. Finally, thanks are most certainly due to Dom Paul‐Emmanuel Clénet and the Benedictine community of the Abbey of Bec, for continued hospitality during several Augusts when I have been compiling the book.
