The use of lanthanides in organic chemistry and in organic synthesis has attracted broad interest recently because of the unique reactivities and selectivities exhibited by compounds of these rare earth elements. In particular, several major advances have been made in the last five years. This volume of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry is designed to provide the specialist and non-specialist alike with a much needed overview of recent developments. Contributions by leaders in the field focus on stereoselective organic synthesis using lanthanides, the principles of lanthanide chemistry, lanthanide-based chiral catalysts, low-valent lanthanide compounds, polymer synthesis using lanthanide catalysts, and polymer-supported lanthanide catalysts used in organic synthesis.

Explains the principles of lanthanide chemistry, discusses unique reactivities and selectivities of rare earth elements, and reviews the major recent breakthroughs in their application to stereoselective organic synthesis and to catalytic processes including polymer synthesis and solid-phase catalysis * A needed overview of recent advances by leading contributors in this field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
