The lanthanide contraction, i.e. the reduction in size of the Ln 3+ ion from La 3+ (103 pm) to Lu 3+ (86.1 pm), is often explained by the poor shielding of the 5s and 5p electrons by the 4f electrons.
The lanthanide contraction is the greater-than-expected decrease in atomic radii and ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series, from left to right. It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 4f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.
The size of Ln 3+ ions regularly decreases with atomic number. According to Fajans' rules , decrease in size of Ln 3+ ions increases the covalent character and decreases the basic character between Ln 3+ and OH − ions in Ln(OH) 3 , to the point that Yb(OH) 3 and Lu(OH) 3 can dissolve with difficulty in hot concentrated NaOH.
Cisplatin, PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2, is a coordination complex of platinum(II) with two chloride and two ammonia ligands.It is one of the most successful anticancer drugs. A coordination complex is a chemical compound consisting of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands ...
A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.

In mathematics and physics, the Christoffel symbols are an array of numbers describing a metric connection. [1] The metric connection is a specialization of the affine connection to surfaces or other manifolds endowed with a metric, allowing distances to be measured on that surface.
