Isotypical N,N-dialkylcarbamato lanthanide complexes covering a range of 11 atomic numbers: direct experimental assessment of the lanthanide contraction in trivalent molecular compounds
U. Abram et al., Isotypical N,N-dialkylcarbamato lanthanide complexes covering a range of 11 atomic numbers: direct experimental assessment of the lanthanide contraction in trivalent molecular compounds, CHEM COMMUN, (20), 1999, pp. 2053-2054
The N,N-diisopropylcarbamato complexes of lanthanides(III) from neodymium (
Z = 60) to ytterbium (Z = 70) were found to be isotypical, with Ln-O distan
ces decreasing steadily with increasing Z, the lanthanide contraction in th
is series of molecular complexes being provisionally assigned to an increas
ing bond strength with increasing atomic number of the central metal atom.
