Answer to Question #321031 in Inorganic Chemistry for Vikram

Question

Give the general pattern of the paramagnetic moments of lanthanoid ions with the help of graph.

Answer 1

Paramagnetism of lanthanide complexes

When considering the lanthanides in the context of MRI contrast agents, the magnetic properties of their complex ions are important.

There are two possible contributions to the paramagnetism of a transition-metal complex. One arises from the spin of the unpaired electrons.
