Abstract

The complexation chemistry of lanthanide ions in aqueous solutions were shown. Structural aspects of the lanthanide-water bond by a comprehensive analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) of all published species in coordination number 9, processing between one and nine bound water molecules, focusing on q=1, 2, and 9 systems. This paper updates aspects of inter- and intramolecular exchange processes, summarizes advances in magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and reviews the developments in the excited-state chemistry of luminescent lanthanide complexes.
