Ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excited states are capable of undergoing a wide
array of photochemical reactions, yet receive minimal attention compared to other charge …

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, coupled with ab initio
calculations, has emerged as the state-of-the-art tool for elucidating the metal-ligand …

Although Ag-containing photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic ability, they present
great challenges owing to their photocorrosion and ease of reduction. Herein, an electron …

Dilanthanide complexes with one-electron delocalization are important targets for
understanding the specific 4f/5d-bonding feature in lanthanide chemistry. Here, we report an …

The 4f orbitals of Ce (IV) have shown appreciably enhanced covalent mixing with ligand
orbitals relative to those of Ce (III). Here, X-ray spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility …

Tripodal tris (siloxide) ligand supported rare-earth metal complexes LLn (III)(Ln= Ce, Pr, Tb,
Y, Lu) were synthesized. The Ce (III) complex was oxidized with [N (C6H4Br) 3][SbCl6] to a …

In comparison with the research of transition-metal-tetrel complexes, the chemistry of
lanthanide tetrel complexes, especially for these bearing heavier tetrel element ligands, is …

The synthesis and characterization of two cerium complexes of redox-active amine/amido-
phenolate-type ligands are reported. A tripodal framework comprising the tris (2-(3′, 5′-di …

A visible‐light induced cerium‐catalyzed N‐demethylation of N‐methyl amides under air
atmosphere to the corresponding of N‐demethylated amides is presented. Upon irradiation …

Traditional models of lanthanide electronic structure suggest that bonding is predominantly
ionic, and that covalent orbital mixing is not an important factor in determining magnetic …
