Introducing terbocenium, a new heavy lanthanide sandwich complex that will add to molecular scale data storage studies
Scientists in the UK have synthesised a new lanthanide metallocenium complex. Based on terbium, the structure adds to a series of complexes made from heavy lanthanide ions sandwiched between two aromatic π ligands.
