Abstract:
The rare earths have provided fascinating field
for chemists confronted with problems of their separation
and purification. The rare earths become available in
relatively pure form in recent years due to the development
of efficient separation methods, largely as a byproduct of
the atomic energy programmes of various countries. The
rare earths often called lanthanides from La (Z=57) to Lu
(Z=7l) display subtle variation of properties through the
series, while the differences become appreciable for the
elements that are farther apart.
