General Chemistry of the Lanthanides

General Chemistry of the Lanthanides.—By using a n.m.r. method, the number of water molecules co-ordinated directly to the metal ion in aqueous solutions of La(C10J3 was found to be six, in Ce(C10j3 at least six and possibly higher, but the accurate number associated with ErfClOJj could not

Reaction of anhydrous LnC with (CF3)2CHOH in the presence of ammonia gave the involatile M OCH(CF3)2)3. Glycerate complexes, of the type Ln(C3H. 03)3,nH20 (n = 0 or 1, Ln = Y, La, Pr Gd, Dy Lu), have been prepared. 

M +(aq) + (O CMel-faq) [MlO CMelJ faq) have been calculated for the lanthanide and actinide ions using electrostatic
