This is followed by four chapters, the first two pertaining to solid state physics and materials science, while the last two chapters describe organic (and inorganic) reactions mediated by tetravalent cerium-based oxidants and by divalent samarium-based reductants. Chapter 227 is devoted to the description of the crystal chemistry and physical properties of rare-earth bismuthides, a class of c UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/handbooks/01681273/36 ER -
