Tóm tắt

Correlating the molecular structure with the electronic structure of lanthanide(III) solvates is a challenging task. Neodymium(III) in aqueous solution serves as an appealing and straightforward model to address this issue. Herein, the experimentally determined electronic structure of neodymium(III) in water is compared with ab initio calculated electronic structures based on various models of its molecular structure. This comparison enables the determination of the most reliable molecular structure. The findings reveal that the molecular structure of the neodymium(III) aqua ion that best aligns with its electronic structure corresponds to a nine coordinated neodymium(III) complex, surrounded by 17 water molecules in the second coordination sphere. The role of second-sphere water molecules was investigated by calculating the crystal field splitting of the five Kramers doublets within the
