Different approaches to synthesise cerium oxide nanoparticles and their corresponding physical characteristics, ROS scavenging and anti-inflammatory capabilities

The biological applications of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have received extensive attention in recent decades. The coexistence of trivalent cerium and tetravalent cerium on the surface of nanoceria allows the...

Coordination of trivalent lanthanum and cerium, and tetravalent cerium and actinides (An = Th(iv), U(iv), Np(iv)) by a 4-phosphoryl 1H-pyrazol-5-olate ligand in solution and the solid state

Single crystal X-ray analyses, solution NMR and EXAFS studies of a series of f-elements metal(iv) complexes of a 4-phosphoryl pyrazolone ligand show essentially the same coordination of the metal ions in solution and in the solid state.

Comparison of tetravalent cerium and terbium ions in a conserved, homoleptic imidophosphorane ligand field

A redox pair of Ce4+ and Ce3+ complexes, isotypic to previously prepared Tb4+ and Tb3+ complexes, respectively, is reported to establish a comparative physical and spectroscopic analysis of tetravalent lanthanide ions.
