Hydration of Lanthanoids(III) and Actinoids(III): An Experimental/Theoretical Saga

摘要: The latest experimental and theoretical studies on structural dynamical properties of lanthanoid(III) actinoid(III) ions in water have been reviewed. In the last years, most issues about hydration resolved combining X-ray absorption experiments different methods. Since 2008 an effort has made to treat entire series thus obtaining coherent sets results that were lately put together such a way it was possible derive new basic properties, as effective ionic radii, across series. While for lanthanoids(III) many simulations reported, actinoids(III) less investigated. There are some performed by research groups few we discuss this review. Currently, there enough is gain understanding behavior actinoids(III). ultimate goal review provide clues analogies differences between two These aspects connected several issues: 1) technological: separation these elements necessary recycling stocking nuclear waste, 2) practical: because actinoids need particular care, definition will give possibility use correct lanthanoid when information specific actinoid needed, 3) fundamental: related chemical similarities
