Werner Urland
Werner Urland (born 13 April 1944) is a German chemist whose name is imprinted in the pioneering implementation of the
Angular Overlap Model (AOM: a specific paradigm for accounting metal
ions in
complexes or
crystals ) for the interpretation of optical and magnetic properties of rare-earth
coordination compounds. This approach receives a renewed value in the context of the vogue around the
lanthanide-based new materials, such as achieving
magnets at molecular scale, or designing new
phosphor materials.
