Abstract
THE physico-chemical properties of promethium and its compounds are generally predicted from knowledge of the properties of other lanthanides. However, since promethium lies between neodymium and samarium—two elements which show sensible differences in structural behaviour in some of their compounds—an experimental examination of promethium compounds is indicated. This will also throw light on general lanthanide chemistry.
