Amine oxide Amine oxide An amine oxide, also known as amine-"N"-oxide and "N"-oxide, is a chemical compound that contains the functional group RN−O, an N−O coordinate covalent bond with three additional hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon side chains attached to N. Sometimes it is written as RN→O or, wrongly, as RN=O. In the strict sense, the term "amine oxide" applies only to oxides of tertiary amines. Sometimes it is also used for the analogous derivatives of primary and secondary amines. Examples of amine oxides include pyridine-"N"-oxide, a water-soluble crystalline solid with melting point 62–67 °C, and "N"-methylmorpholine "N"-oxide, which is an oxidant. Amine oxides
Cerium(III) oxide for illumination with UV light. It absorbs light with a wavelength of 320 nm and emits light with a wavelength of 412 nm. This combination of cerium(III) oxide and tin(II) oxide is rare, and obtained only with difficulty on a laboratory scale. Cerium(III) oxide is produced by the reduction of cerium(IV) oxide with hydrogen at approximately to make air stable cerium(III) oxide. Cerium(III) oxide Cerium(III) oxide, also known as cerium oxide, cerium trioxide, cerium sesquioxide, cerous oxide or dicerium trioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium. It has chemical formula CeO and is gold-yellow in color. Cerium oxide
