Anisotropic chemical bonding of lanthanide-OH molecules by Jacek Kłos, Eite Tiesinga, Lan Cheng, Svetlana Kotochigova

“…Analysis of the results from both methods shows that the dominant molecular configuration of the ground state is one where an electron from the partially filled and anisotropic 4f orbital of the lanthanide atom moves to the hydroxyl group, leaving the closed outer-most $$\hbox {6s}^2$$ lone electron pair of the lanthanide atom intact in sharp contrast to the bonding in alkaline-earth monohydroxides and YbOH, where an electron from the outer-most s shell moves to the hydroxyl group. …”
