| Abstract: | When anhydrous EuCl3, GdCl3, DyCl3 or Eu2O3 are irradiated with fast neutrons and then dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid, small amounts of reducing species, believed to be divalent lanthanide cations, are revealed. The amount produced increases with the thermodynamic stability of the Ln2+ species /Eu>Dy>Gd>/. |
