A simple ionic crystal model is used in conjunction with the Born–Haber cycle and auxiliary thermodynamic data to deduce the nature of the variations in the third ionization potential across the lanthanide series. The variation is consistent with the theory of atomic spectra. The similarities between the changes in –I3 and those in the sublimation energies of the metals are also discussed.
