Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths, Volume Volume 8

Covers topics pertaining to solid state physics and materials science, and describes organic (and inorganic) reactions mediated by tetravalent cerium-based oxidants and by divalent samarium-based reductants. This book also focuses on the synthesis and use of divalent samarium-based reductants in organic and inorganic reactions. Deals with the chemistry, materials science, physics and technology of the rare earth elements.
