Wonderful work!.
In their latest work, Eric J. Schelter and his colleagues have shown that 4f orbitals can play an essential role in guiding the reaction of a molecule attached to a lanthanide.

Thanks @f_orbitals, @bessvlai, @rcsabya for the excellent collaboration elucidating the first molecular Pr5+! 👍👍👍.
High valent lanthanide, inverted ligand field and associated challenges. What a fun project to work on! Many thanks to @bessvlai, team @f_orbitals and @Popov_Group for this wonderful collaboration.
