Hi everyone,

I really need the Synthesis of the Bis(phthalocyaninato)neodymium(III) complex,
but the only paper I could find was in Japanese.
I hope there is someone out there, who can translate this in any of the listed languages.

Have you tried google translator? While it won't be probably able to recognize all names it can at least give you some general idea.

Just by Googling your topic, I found this reference:  http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA144933  and using the authors' names, more of the same.  Sorry they're not easier to find publications, but you at least have some idea what to look for.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

I just did, with hilarious consequences. Like:

"There were no child and I have obtained is that because they are heading vinegar, pure crystals."

Google translate doesn't handle Japanese to English very well - I managed to get the gist of a prep from a Japanese patent once with google translate, but I don't think you can count on it.

OTOH, translating a full Japanese patent / paper should commercially cost upwards of $300.

The Japanese patent office website has a link that will do a machine translation of patents. It isn't too bad.

Most patents are cross filed too. You can mostly always find a substantially similar US / UK / EU patent too.
