The solubility and conductivity of cerium(III) salts (as stand-ins for plutonium(III) salts) in dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, ethylenediamine, and dimethylformamide were investigated to evaluate these systems as possible electroplating baths. The system dimethylsulfoxide-cerium chloride is the most promising for electrodeposition of cerium at a mercury cathode. (auth)
