Lanthanide-Based Multimetallic Clusters: Impact of f-Elements on Formation, Structures, Elec-tronic Properties and Reactivity (A03)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics ; Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation ; Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 471424360

The aim of the project is a better understanding of multimetallic clusters containing lanthanide (Ln) ions. Through targeted design, these clusters will be used in bond activation processes. To gain new insights into the fundamental properties and potential applicability of multimetallic clusters, examples containing Ln ions are ideal, as they allow for fine-tuning of properties by embedding the respective ions with their different fn-configurations and sizes within or on the surface of related metal cages.
