Description:

The rare-earth elements include Sc, Y and the 15 lanthanoids from La to Lu. Owing, in part, to their diverse coordination numbers and geometries and relatively localized orbitals, the rare-earth materials find application in lighting, displays, catalysis, hydrogen storage, photovoltaics, magnetism, magnetocalorics, thermoelectrics, biomedical science and sensing, amongst others. In addition to their various applications, there are diverse classes of materials that can be synthesized using rare-earth elements including coordination complexes, polymers, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), solid-state inorganic materials, and nanoparticles, etc.1 Therefore, in addition to the structural diversity of rare-earth materials, the unique electronic properties of the rare-earth elements, particularly the lanthanoids, engenders the resulting materials with tunable luminescence, and magnetic behaviour, etc.1,2 This themed collection showcases both the structural diversity and versatile physical properties of rare-earth materials. Here we have chosen several papers from this themed collection to feature, while there are other papers in the collection that advance the materials chemistry of rare-earth elements, and we believe that all papers will be of high interest to the community.
