Abstract
A new method is presented to produce divalent lanthanides (including the po pular reductant samarium(II) iodide) from the corresponding trivalent trifl ate salts. This novel route to low-valent lanthanides suggests the developm ent of a catalytic system employing the cathode as a co-reductant. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
