Oxidation A wide range of +3 compounds is formed as well as aqua ions. The ionic radius decreases states +3 gradually across the series, leading to changes in solid structures, and an increase in stability of complexes in solution. Organometallic compounds are more ionic than in the d block. 

The most common oxidation state of niobium is +5, although many anhydrous compounds have been made with lower oxidation states, notably +4 and +3, and Nb can be reduced in aqueous solution to Nb by zinc. The aqueous chemistry primarily involves halo- and organic acid anionic complexes. Virtually no cationic chemistry exists because of the irreversible hydrolysis of the cation in dilute solutions. Metal—metal bonding is common. Extensive polymeric anions form. Niobium resembles tantalum and titanium in its chemistry, and separation from these elements is difficult. In the soHd state, niobium has the same atomic radius as tantalum and essentially the same ionic radius as well, ie, Nb Ta = 68 pm. This is the same size as Ti ... 

The higher ionisation energy and smaller ionic radius of copper contribute to its forming oxides much less polar, less stable, and less basic than those of the alkah metals (13). Because of the relative instabiUty of its oxides, copper joins silver in occurring in nature in the metallic state. 

By contrast, the ionic radius in a given oxidation state falls steadily and, though the available data are less extensive, it is clear that an actinide contraction exists, especially for the -f3 state, which is closely similar to the lanthanide contraction (see p. 1232). 

The uncertainty of the proper coordination number of any particular plutonium species in solution leads to a corresponding uncertainty in the correct cationic radius. Shannon has evaluated much of the available data and obtained sets of "effective ionic radii" for metal ions in different oxidation states and coordination numbers (6). Unfortunately, the data for plutonium is quite sparse. By using Shannon s radii for other actinides (e.g., Th(iv), U(Vl)) and for Ln(III) ions, the values listed in Table I have been obtained for plutonium. These radii are estimated to have an uncertainty of 0.02 X ...

Derived from the German word meaning devil s copper, nickel is found predominantly in two isotopic forms, Ni (68% natural abundance) and Ni (26%). Ni exists in four oxidation states, 0, I, II, III, and IV. Ni(II), which is the most common oxidation state, has an ionic radius of —65 pm in the four-coordinate state and —80 pm in the octahedral low-spin state. The Ni(II) aqua cation exhibits a pAa of 9.9. It forms tight complexes with histidine (log Af = 15.9) and, among the first-row transition metals, is second only to Cu(II) in its ability to complex with acidic amino acids (log K( = 6-7 (7). Although Ni(II) is most common, the paramagnetic Ni(I) and Ni(III) states are also attainable. Ni(I), a (P metal, can exist only in the S = state, whereas Ni(lll), a cT ion, can be either S = or S =. ... 

A soft Lewis acid has a relatively high polarizability. Large atoms and low oxidation states often convey softness. Contrast with Hg , a typical soft acid. The ionic radius of Hg is 116 pm, almost twice the size of... 

The ions that tend to be involved in AB cements include such species as Al , Mg, Ca and Zn. These are all capable of developing a coordination number of six, and hexaquo cations are known to be formed by each of these metal ions (Huckel, 1950). The typical requirements for an ion to develop such coordination characteristics are that the ion should exist in the -I- 2 or -1-3 oxidation state, and in this state should be of small ionic radius (Greenwood Earnshaw, 1984). 

This expression is relatively imprecise because of the scarcity of data. Also, the oxidation state of Pb in these experiments is not known. However, it is interesting that for those experiments in which both Dpb and Dsr have been determined, the Dpb/Dsr ratio is consistently less than would be predicted from the 2+ lattice strain model using parameters presented above. As in the case of clinopyroxene, increasing the effective Vlll-fold ionic radius of Pb in plagioclase, to 1.38 A, does retrieve the observed ratios. Thus one can... 

The ionic radii of the commonest oxidation states are presented in Table 2. There is evidence of an actinide contraction of ionic radii as the 5/ orbitals are filled and this echoes the well established lanthanide contraction of ionic radii as the 4/orbitals are filled. Actinides and lanthanides in the same oxidation state have similar ionic radii and these similarities in radii are obviously paralleled by similarities in chemical behaviour in those cases where the ionic radius is relevant, such as the thermodynamic properties observed for halide hydrolysis.
