A short ride on scorpionates: from d- to f-elements

This paper presents an over-view of progress involving group 7 elements and actinides with scorpionate ligands. This includes oxides, polyhydrides and carbonyls of group 7 elements and any type of compounds of actinides (III) and (IV). Synthetic procedures, reactivity and structural data are reviewed.
