{"product_id":"the-rare-earth-elements-isbn-9781119950974","title":"The Rare Earth Elements","description":"\u003cp\u003eLanthanides are of great importance for the electronic industries, this new book (from the EIBC Book Series) provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic chemistry, particularly inorganic chemistry, of the lanthanoid elements, those having a 4f shell of electrons. A chapter is describing the similarity of the Group 3 elements, Sc, Y, La, the group from which the lanthanoids originate and the group 13 elements, particularly aluminum, having similar properties. Inclusion of the group 3 and 13 elements demonstrates how the lanthanoid elements relate to other, more common, elements in the Periodic Table. Beginning chapters describe the occurrence and mineralogy of the elements, with a focus on structural features observed in compounds described in later chapters. The majority of the chapters is organized by the oxidation state of the elements, Ln(0), Ln(II), Ln(III), and Ln(IV). Within this organization the chapters are further distinguished by type of compound, inorganic (oxides and hydroxides, aqueous speciation, halides, alkoxides, amides and thiolates, and chelates) and organometallic. Concluding chapters deal with diverse and critically important applications of the lanthanoids in electronic and magnetic materials, and medical imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eContributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Preface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume Preface xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeology, Geochemistry, and Natural Abundances of the Rare Earth Elements 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eScott M.

At an early age David moved to Tuscaloosa Alabama where he grew up and ultimately attended college. After graduation from the University of Alabama he moved to Austin Texas to attend graduate school at the University of Texas with Richard Jones as his advisor. He graduated with his PhD (in Inorganic Chemistry) in the Spring of 1992 but stayed in Austin as a postdoctoral associate with Alan Cowley until his wife, Vicki Ossink Atwood, finished her PhD (also in Inorganic Chemistry). From UT he moved as an Assistant Professor to North Dakota State University as part of their new Center for Main Group Chemistry (of which he was co-director). In 1998 David Atwood joined the chemistry department at the University of Kentucky faculty as an Associate Professor. He now has over 160 publications, 10 patents, and serves on numerous editorial boards, including the Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry, a 10 volume set published in Fall 2005. He is the founding editor and editor-in-chief of Main Group Chemistry. His research interests include detection and removal of heavy metal contaminants such as mercury, cadmium and lead, from the environment, the preparation of nanoparticulate metal oxides, prevention of aluminum alloy oxidation, and the synthesis of new Lewis acid compounds to effect new reactions, such as the breaking of phosphate esters bonds like those found in nerve gas agents and pesticides and the destruction of methyl-t-butyl ether (MTBE) a widespread water contaminant.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLanthanides [or Lanthanoids] are the elements with atomic numbers 57 to 71 on the Periodic Table. The sequential filling of their 4f electron shell gives them specific chemical and very unique spectroscopic properties.  These elements are actually not very “rare” at all, in earth’s crust, but are usually found with many other elements. The absence or “rarity” of concentrated mineral deposits, in comparison to the more common metals, made them difficult to obtain pure in large quantities until specific mineral extraction technologies were developed. This has made the term “rare earths” less applicable in modern terms, and certainly does not accurately reflect the earth’s abundance of these elements. Nevertheless, calling the lanthanides, “rare earth” elements has persisted and the name makes the lanthanides unique among the metals on the periodic chart, a uniqueness that is actually accurate, as this book will demonstrate\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic chemistry, particularly inorganic chemistry, of the Rare Earth Elements. Inclusion of Group 3 elements (Sc, Y and La) and Group 13 elements (particularly Al) demonstrates how the Lanthanides relate to transition metals and main group elements in the Periodic Table. The book begins with chapters describing the fundamentals electronic, structural, and bonding trends of the elements to provide a foundation for understanding the specific chemistry described in subsequent chapters. The bulk of the chapters are organized based on the oxidation state of the elements, and particularly, the most common trivalent state. Within this organization the chapters focus on the wide variety of lanthanide compounds that form with specific types of ligands to provide a wide range of bonding environments. The book concludes with chapters describing the wide range of solid-state materials that contain, and utilize, lanthanides, followed by chapters on important, and newly-emerging, biological applications. The arrangement and content of the chapters in the book are designed to provide a fundamental understanding of lanthanide chemistry with examples of the most recent advances in research, and the important new and future applications of the Rare Earths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990326395109,"sku":"NP9781119950974","price":263.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119950974.jpg?v=1761787367","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-rare-earth-elements-isbn-9781119950974","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
