Lanthanides and actinides: Annual survey of their organometallic chemistry covering the year 2010

This review summarizes the progress in organo-f-element chemistry during the year 2010. A continuing trend in organolanthanide research is a strong emphasis on applications of organolanthanide complexes in homogeneous catalysis and, to a lesser extent, materials science. Roughly 25% of all relevant papers published in 2010 were in the area of organoactinide chemistry, which continues to produce exciting results. This represents a significant increase in organoactinide research activity over 2009. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
