Abstract
Although the lanthanide metals comprise nearly 20% of the stable metallic elements in the periodic system, relatively little use has been made of these elements in catalytic reactions (1). Homogeneous catalyses involving the lanthanide metals are particularly rare (2). This situation does not arise because the lanthanides are rare elements, for lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, and neodymium, are as common as lead, and even the rarest lanthanide, thulium, is more common than mercury (3). It is more likely that the limited use of the lanthanide metals in catalytic sequences is a reflection of the limited chemistry which has been developed for these elements. Indeed, the chemistry of this series of metals is sufficiently narrow that it can be summarized in a single paragraph.
