Description
This volume of the Handbook adds five new chapters to the science of rare earths. Two of the chapters deal with intermetallic compounds.
An overview of ternary systems containing rare earths, transition metals and indium – Chapter 218 – opens the volume. It is followed
by Chapter 219 sorting out relationships between superconductivity and magnetism. The next two chapters are dedicated to complex compounds
of rare earths: Chapter 220 describes structural studies using circularly polarized luminescence spectroscopy of lanthanide systems,
while Chapter 221 examines rare-earth metal-organic frameworks, also known as coordination polymers. The final Chapter 222 deals with
the catalytic activity of rare earths in site-selective hydrolysis of DNA and RNA.
