Selected structural highlights of f-element compounds
摘要
This historical overview compiles over 30 years of structural research on f-element compounds initiated by Prof. Magdolna Hargittai and conducted first at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest) with continuation later at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (Karlsruhe). The research tools included gas electron diffraction, gas-phase and matrix-isolation vibrational spectroscopy as well as quantum chemical calculations while the topic evaluated from small inorganic compounds up to large complexes of lanthanides and actinides.
