Amplification of Lanthanide f-Orbital Differences by Redox Noninnocent Semiquinone Binding.
A deeper understanding of the electronic structure of the lanthanides (Ln) is essential to harness their technological applications and enable responsible recovery/separation. Here, an isostructural series of tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (Tp*)-supported LnIII adducts of a redox noninnocent 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-s...
