title: The remarkable efficiency of N-heterocyclic carbenes in lanthanide(III)/actinide(III) differentiation.
abstract: The capacity of NHC molecules to discriminate between trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions was revealed by competition reactions of analogous U(III) and Ce(III) compounds with C3Me4N2 and a comparison of the crystal structures of the corresponding carbene adducts.
