Rare-earth Beta-diketonates by Koen Binnemans Catholic University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium N2 - The rare earths play a unique role in science. These seventeen related elements afford a panoply of subtle variations deriving from the systematic development of their electronic configurations, allowing a test of theory with excellent resolution. In contrast they find widespread use in even the most mundane processes such as steel making, for polishing materials and gasoline cracking catalysts. In between are exotic uses such as TV screen phosphors, lasers, high strength permanent magnets and chemical probes. This multi-volume handbook covers the entire rare earth field in an integrated manner UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/handbooks/01681273/35 ER -
