Relativistic aspects of orbital and magnetic anisotropies in the chemical bonding and structure of lanthanide molecules

The electronic structure of magnetic lanthanide atoms is fascinating from a fundamental perspective. They have electrons in a submerged open 4f shell lying beneath a filled 6s shell with strong relativistic correlations leading to a large magnetic moment and large electronic orbital angular momentum...
