Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry

By Leandro Oviedo

The chemistry of the f-block elements, particularly lanthanides and actinides, plays a critical role in materials science, energy production, and advanced technologies. Their unique electronic configurations lead to fascinating chemical and physical properties. Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry introduces the fundamental principles governing these elements, including oxidation states, coordination chemistry, and magnetic behavior. The book discusses their applications in nuclear energy, phosphors, catalysis, and medicine. It also covers environmental and safety aspects of actinide handling. By blending theory with experimental insights, it provides students and researchers with a detailed understanding of the chemistry of rare earth and heavy metal elements.
