Abstract
The difficulties encountered in preparing the rare-earth metals have seriously hampered the investigation of the physical and chemical properties of these substances. By far the most extensive piece of work is that of Klemm and Bommer. These investigators prepared the metals by reducing the anhydrous trichlorides with the stoichiometric amount of potassium. We are reporting the results of some preliminary studies of the magnetochemical properties of the rare-earth amalgams. While the literature contains many references to the magnetochemical properties of amalgams, particularly those of the alkali metals, it appears that this approach to the study of the rare-earth metals has been overlooked. Samarium and europium were chosen as the first objects of study because of the considerable theoretical importance attaching to their position near the middle of the lanthanide series.
