Gas chromatography of rare earth β-diketonates

Studies on gas chromatography (GC) of volatile rare earth β-diketonates conducted in recent 10-15 years are reviewed in brief. Data on β-diketonates most often used in REE GC as well as data on detection limits of REE by the method of gas-liquid chromatography of their β-diketonates are presented. GC is concluded to be a perspective method for rare earth β-diketonate separation and determination
