“…328 The thorium phosphate xerogel could be processed to thin films by spin-coating and dipcoating. 332 Examples of lanthanide ions incorporated into sol-gel xerogels and glasses have been reported for most of the spectroscopically active trivalent lanthanide ions. The studies on europium(III)-and terbium(III)-doped xerogels and glasses have been discussed in detail above.…”

Koen Binnemans was born in Geel, Belgium, in 1970. He obtained his M. Sc. degree (1992) and Ph.D. degree (1996) in Chemistry at the Catholic University of Leuven, under the supervision of Prof. C. Go ¨rller-Walrand. In the period 1999-2005, he was a postdoctoral fellow of the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders (Belgium). He did postdoctoral work with Prof. Jacques Lucas (Rennes, France) and Prof. Duncan W. Bruce (Exeter, U.K.). In 2000, he received the first ERES Junior Award (ERES, European Rare-Earth and Actinide Society). From 2002 until 2005, he was (parttime) associate professor. Presently, he is professor of chemistry at the Catholic University of Leuven. His current research interests are metalcontaining liquid crystals (metallomesogens), lanthanide-mediated organic reactions, lanthanide spectroscopy, luminescent molecular materials, and ionic liquids.

“…Thorium phosphates are of considerable interest because of their potential as radioactive waste forms (56,57) and as xerogel thin films for light waveguides (58,59). Binary and ternary thorium phosphates have been synthesized having varying ratios of nonthorium metal, thorium, and phosphate.…”

Thorium, a naturally occurring radioisotope, and thorium compounds, primarily where thorium is present in the +4 oxidation state, are discussed. The main interest in thorium is as a nuclear fuel, but thorium and its compounds have many specialty uses, for instance, as gas, lantern mantels, and catalysts. Thorium has a rich coordination and organometallic chemistry. A drawback to using thorium in many processes is the chemical reactivity of the metal as well as the inherent radioactivity of all thorium isotopes. Health and safety factors essential for working with thorium are discussed.

An overview is provided on thorium and thorium compounds with an emphasis on their relevance to chemical technology. The main interest in thorium is as a nuclear fuel, but thorium and its compounds have many specialty uses including lantern mantles and catalysts. Discussion on the occurrence, recovery, preparation, properties and radiochemistry of thorium is provided. While not intending to be exhaustive, a broad based review is provided on the coordination and organometallic complexes of thorium with halogens; N, P, and O donors; cyclopentadienyl; annulene; hydrocarbyl; and allyl ligands. A drawback to using thorium in many processes is the chemical reactivity of the metal as well as the inherent radioactivity of all thorium isotopes. As such, health and safety factors essential for working with thorium are discussed. General references from which more detailed information of the aforementioned subjects is provided.
