Description
Book SynopsisThis book covers the basic chemistry, particularly inorganic chemistry, of Lanthanides elements of vital importance in the electronic industries. It describes their similarity to other elements, such as aluminum, demonstrating how the lanthanoids relate to more common elements in the Periodic Table.
Trade Review“In conclusion this is a valuable book, spanning the under-graduate / postgraduate divide, which should find a place particularly in the collections of those who teach lanthanide chemistry and new researchers to the field who want to discover the remarkable scope of modern lanthanide chemistry and its exciting applications. One could not expect much more in a single volume.” (Applied Organometal Chemistry, 1 May 2013)
