M.S. Wickleder, Simple and complex halides

Meyer, G. and Wickleder, M.S. (2000) Simple and complex halides, in Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earth, Vol. 28 Chapter 177, Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 57-65. 

G. Meyer and M.S. Wickleder have described the synthesis and structures of the many types of rare-earth halides. They have classified them as simple, complex, binary, ternary, quaternary, multinuclear complex, and other categories needed to deal with this most studied of the rare-earth compounds. The structure types are skillfiilly illustrated to show the elementary architecture of each type.
