Thermodynamic and transport properties of M3CeBr6 compounds (M = K, Rb, Cs)

Thermal and conductometric studies of the CeBr3–MBr binary systems (M=Li, Na)

“…In both studied systems the specific conductivity decreases with increase of CeBr 3 concentration, with significantly larger changes in the alkali bromide-rich region. We have already observed such a general tendency in previously studied lanthanide halide-alkali metal halide binary systems [19,25,26,[29][30][31][32][33]. Raman spectroscopic investigations [34] showed that octahedral LnBr 6 3− ions are formed in the LnBr 3 -MBr liquid mixtures.…”
