Since the discovery of organic azides by Peter Grieß more than 140 years ago, numerous
syntheses of these energy‐rich molecules have been developed. In more recent times in …

Ionic liquids are salts with a low melting point (below 100 C). 1-6 Several types of ionic
liquids are liquid at room temperature (room-temperature ionic liquids or RTILs). The cations …

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 …

Carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions constitute the central theme
of organic synthesis, and progress in modern synthesis is dependent on development of …

A key characteristic of the element cerium is its reversible redox chemistry between trivalent
and tetravalent forms, which is central to the application of cerium in synthetic and materials …

Recent advances in the catalytic application of cerium complexes were achieved through
controlling the Ce (IV/III) redox couple. Although Ce (IV) complexes have been extensively …

Cerium belongs to the family of the lanthanides, which constitute (together with scandium
and yttrium) the so-called rare earth elements. Cerium is the most abundant of these …

Seit der Entdeckung der organischen Azide vor über einhundertvierzig Jahren durch Peter
Grieß wurde eine Reihe von Synthesen für diese energiereichen Moleküle entwickelt. In …

From its humble origins as a mere 'chemical curiosity,'radical chemistry has developed into
one of the most powerful tools for preparative organic synthesis. Initially considered too …

The first photoinduced carbon (sp2)–heteroatom bond forming reaction by a rare‐earth‐
metal photoreductant, a Miyaura borylation, has been achieved. This simple, scalable, and …
