Rare Earth Metal (Sc, Y, Lanthanoids) Bromides and Iodides in Water and Aqueous Systems (Solubility Data Series)

A complete set of compilations will be prepared for the solubilities of all rare earth metal bromides and iodides in water as well as in aqueous solutions containing inorganic and organic substances. The set of compilations related to a selected metal will be introduced with a critical evaluation of all related solubility results, equilibrium solid phases, and a selection of suggested solubility data.

Rare earth metal bromides and iodides are of increasing importance in the production of mercury-free lamp fillings, materials used in spectroscopy, corrosion protection, and catalysis of polymerization and various organic reactions.
This report continues the previous elaborations dealing with rare earth metal halides in nonaqueous1 and aqueous2 solvents:
