Neutron scattering from solutions: The hydration of lanthanide and actinide ions
Description
The neutron scattering difference method is described and applied to investigations of the aqua rare earth ions, Nd3+ and Dy3+. Metal-water distances and hydration numbers have been unambiguously determined for the inner coordination spheres of these ions. The values of the hydration number n of 8.5±0.2 for Nd3+ and 7.4±0.5 for Dy3+, directly support the claim of Spedding et al. that n decreases by one unit across the lanthanide series. The possible application of this method to actinide ions in solution is also discussed. (orig.)
