Volume 15 in this series continues the voyage of discovery started
almost a decade ago. Chapter 98 adds significantly to an evaluation
of systematic, experimental low-temperature studies of the
ambivalent behaviours of cerium (ferromagnetism,
antiferromagnetism, spin glass, superconductivity etc.) which
depend upon its environment in materials. The conclusions arrived
at should provide new data against which the theory can be
advanced. The next chapter provides a review of rare earth
carbides, emphasizing the thermodynamics, phase diagrams, crystal
structures and physical properties. The binary rare earth carbides
present an exceptionally wide range of compositions and structures
both as solids and gas-phase molecules. Complex carbides with
additional metal and non-metal components also receive attention.
Metal-rich halides (i.e. compounds with an X/R ratio <2) are the
subject of the next chapter. The compounds are classified according
to their structure and chemical bonding characteristics and their
electrical and magnetic properties are also reviewed. Chapter 101
deals with the preparation, structure, chemical and physical
properties of heavy-metal fluoride glasses. Large amounts of rare
earths can be added into these, and they possess a great potential
for optical applications in the mid-infrared range as fiber optic
glasses for communication and transmission of information, optical
wave guides, fiber lasers and sensors. The following chapter
explores the chemical kinetics of solvent and ligand exchange in
aqueous lanthanide solutions. A wealth of tabulated information on
rate and equilibrium constants is provided in textual and tabular
form. Chapter 103 considers the fundamentally important reactions
of the lanthanide ions with water. These interactions are discussed
for both solids and solutions. The hydrated species are considered
in detail for the aqueous solution, revealing the consequences of
the lanthanide series sequence. The concluding chapter reviews
macrocyclic complexes formed by rare earth and dioxouranium ions as
templates. Synthetic trends and reactivity are considered as well
as potential uses of these intriguing wrap-around structures.
