The electronic structure of f-element Prussian blue analogs determined by soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Oct 25;54(86):12206-12209. doi: 10.1039/c8cc05176c.

Abstract

In molecular solids derived from Prussian blue, intermetallic charge transfer is fostered through a cyano bridge two metal ions. In this study, isostructural trivalent lanthanide and tetravalent actinide Prussian blue analogs' valence orbitals are probed by soft X-ray absorption measurements.
