The Lanthanides and Actinides

The Lanthanides and Actinides: Synthesis, Reactivity, Properties and Applications constitutes an introduction to and comprehensive coverage of f-block chemistry encompassing the following areas: periodicity, natural occurrence and extraction, separations, electronic structure, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, small molecule activation, catalysis, organic synthesis applications, magnetism, spectroscopy, computation, materials, photonics, solar cell technology, biological imaging, and technological applications. Under these subject areas the book provides a broad but deep coverage, providing basic overviews as well as detailed chapters on specific areas.This book, targeted at academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates, will serve as an ideal introductory text and key reference work to the Lanthanides and Actinides.Contents: The Chemistry of Rare-Earth Metals (Thomas Behrsing, Glen B Deacon, and Peter Junk)The Chemistry of the Actinides (Robert J Baker)Solid-State Chemistry: Synthesis and Structural Diversity in Lanthanide and Actinide Complexes (Matthew L Marsh, Frankie D White, Wesley M Potter, and Thomas E Albrecht-Schoenzart)Coordination Chemistry of Lanthanides (Yaofeng Chen)Coordination Chemistry of Actinides (Grégory Nocton and Marinella Mazzanti)Organometallic Chemistry of Lanthanides (Wenliang Huang and Paula L Diaconescu)Organoactinide Chemistry (David J H Emslie, Nicholas R Andreychuk, and Carlos A Cruz)Small Molecule Activation by Lanthanide Complexes (Conrad A P Goodwin and David P Mills)Small Molecule Activation by Actinide Complexes (Christopher Hoerger and Karsten Meyer)Modern Applications of the Actinides in Catalysis (Rami J Batrice, Isabell S R Karmel, Guy Yardeni, and Moris S Eisen)Computational Aspects of f-Element Chemistry (Andrew Kerridge)Spectroscopy of the Actinides (Yvonne Rechkemmer and Joris van Slageren)Electronic Spectroscopy on Non-Metallic Actinide Systems (Yvonne Rechkemmer and Joris van Slageren)Vibrational Spectroscopy of Non-Metallic Actinide Compounds (Yvonne Rechkemmer and Joris van Slageren)Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Non-Metallic Actinide Systems (Yvonne Rechkemmer and Joris van Slageren)Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Actinides (Peter Kaden)Applications of Rare Earths (Jean-Claude G Bünzli)Applications of Actinides (Jean-Claude G Bünzli, Louise S Natrajan, and Mark J Sarsfield)Readership: Academics in inorganic, computational, spectroscopic and magnetic chemistry.
