so much Cerium and InCl3 what to do with it?

InCl3 can be used for Friedel Crafts and high yielding reductive aminations....any other uses? And Cerium, oh cerium, any ideas?

Cerium metal? Because I would be glad of some of that. As for compounds, depends on what you have.

CeCl3 is quite good at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luche_reduction

EDIT: somewhere on this forum is a prep of ceric ammonium nitrate from the metal. Might want to look that up.
