Including Actinides

The Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths is an ongoing series covering all aspects of rare earth science—chemistry, life sciences, materials science, and physics. The main emphasis of the Handbook is on rare earth elements [Sc, Y and the lanthanides (La through Lu)] but information is also included, whenever relevant, on the closely related actinide elements. The individual chapters are comprehensive, broad, up-to-date critical reviews written by highly experienced invited experts. The series, which was started in 1978 by Professor Karl A. Gschneidner Jr., combines and integrates both the fundamentals and applications of these elements and now publishes two volumes a year. Individual chapters are comprehensive, broad, critical reviews Contributions are written by highly experienced, invited experts Up-to-date overviews of developments in the field The Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths is an ongoing series covering all aspects of rare earth science—chemistry, life sciences, materials science, and physics.

Hehlen, Mansoor Sheik-Bahae, Richard I. Epstein Chapter 266 - Rare Earth Arene-Bridged Complexes Obtained by Reduction of Organometallic Precursors Pages 261-329 Wenliang Huang, Paula L. Diaconescu Index Pages 331-336 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.
