The lanthanide contraction is a widely known phenomenon in which the ionic radii of the Ln ions decrease across the series from La to Lu. As a result, the distance (Ln-Y), where Y is a ligand donor atom, decreases across the series. As shown previously, the decrease normally has a linear dependence on the number of 4f Ln electrons, , and the net change, Δ', is between 0.15 and 0.20 Å. However, previous reports have shown that Δ' can be much larger than normal, and it is shown here that Δ' can be much smaller than normal. The present study seeks to determine the source and a possible explanation of these anomalies. A definitive conclusion is that the large Δ' is due to large (Ln-Y) for the early lanthanides. The small Δ' can result from chelate constraints and intramolecular H-bonding. As an outgrowth of this search, it is shown that consistent radii for donor atoms, (Y), can be obtained if the system satisfies certain conditions. Finally, the impact of the results on the normal and inverse trans influences is discussed.

While several ligand systems support uranium across a range of oxidation states, spanning more than two oxidation states in a conserved coordination geometry is uncommon among structurally authenticated complexes. Imidophosphorane ligands significantly stabilize high-valent lanthanide and actinide complexes. Here, we report a series of homoleptic uranium imidophosphorane complexes, spanning the +4, +5 and +6 oxidation states in a four-coordinate pseudotetrahedral ligand field.

The Raman spectra of lanthanide [Ln(HO)(Ala)](ClO) crystals were measured with 488, 532, 633, and 1064 nm laser lines, and ROA of complexes in water were collected using 532 nm excitation. As in IR and VCD, ν(CO) stretching and β(OCO) bending vibration bands showed a tendency typical to the lanthanide contraction effect. However, in Raman, the effect is less pronounced than the IR spectrum because it is strongly perturbed by lanthanide ion luminescence, which comes from the 4f → 4f transitions.

The crystallization of lanthanide-containing β-octamolybdate (β-{MoO}) based solids from a binary 1 : 1 (water/DMSO) solution under ambient conditions is reported. A uniform synthetic protocol yielded three structurally related series of general composition {Ln(solvent)}[NaMoO] ⋅ yHO, with the whole lanthanide series (except for radioactive Pm). The three series are (i) {Ln(DMSO)}[NaMoO] ⋅ 0.
