Fundamentals and Applications of Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry

"Lanthanide and actinide chemistry focuses on the behavior of the f-block elements, characterized by the filling of $4f$ and $5f$ electron orbitals. These elements are essential for modern technology, ranging from the high-strength magnets used in electric vehicle motors to the radioisotopes required for advanced cancer therapies and carbon-free nuclear energy. The Electronic Basis of f-Block Chemistry The chemistry of the lanthanides and actinides is defined by their position at the bottom of the periodic table. Unlike the transition metals (d-block), where the $d$ orbitals are outer-facing and participate strongly in chemical bonding, the $f..."
