Organoderivatives of Rare Earth Elements

This volume contains a description of the synthesis, structure, physicochemical and catalytic properties of organometallic complexes of yttrium, scandium, lanthanum and lanthanoids. Along with the true organometallics, the alcoholates, thiolates, amides and similar classes of compounds are considered. The last section of the book deals with practical applications of organic derivatives of rare earth elements. The book contains a large number of tables and illustrations giving physicochemical, spectral and structural characteristics or organoderivatives of lanthanoids. The comprehensive data presented obviate the need to refer to original publications.
