The Highest Oxidation States of the Rare‐Earth Elements and the Challenge of Praseodymium(+5) Compounds

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Rare Earth Elements are known to form tri‐ and also di‐valent compounds. A few tetra‐valent compounds are also known, and recently the first molecules and crystals with Praseodymium(+5) were synthesized. By defining the atomic Ionization Quotient IQ, Ln(+4) compounds with suitable ligands appear possible for almost all 4f elements, while Pr(+5) may ...
