Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in the chemistry of f-block complexes, from the lanthanides to the technically challenging to handle trans-uranics. The synthesis of these complexes is often difficult and a challenge in and of itself, and while the routine techniques such as SC-XRD, NMR, and IR studies allow identification of these complexes, the recent advances in further experimental techniques, such as SQUID, EPR, and XANES/XAFS, and theoretical techniques such as TD-DFT, QTAIM, and CASSCF, have allowed in depth investigations into the structure and bonding of these molecules. In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent advances in these aspects of f-block chemistry, including the synthesis and structural investigations of these complexes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
