## Abstract The aim of the paper is to elucidate the problem of the regular changes in the properties of __f__‐elements represented by the double‐double effect. It is pointed out that because of the half‐filled shell and double‐double effects the __f__‐element properties cannot be plotted as a line

✦ Synopsis
The position of the 'Inclined W theory', i.e., the linear correlation of the properties (Pi) of the Ianthanide and the actinide ions with their ground state total orbital angular quantum numbers (L), Pi= wiL + k,, where wi and ki are the slopes and intercepts of the least squares lines, is made clear. The position of gadolinium is ambivalent, and it can be a common point for the symmetric 'Inclined W plots' or it may either belong to the second or the third tetrad depending on the system investigated. The propionate and the isobutyrate systems are used to elucidate the 'Inclined W concept'. The 'Inclined W parameters' for the solvent extraction of the lanthanides with PMBP ligand have been calculated.
