Description

General description

Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate is a transition metal catalyst widely used in many organic transformations. It can be prepared from lanthanum(III) oxide by treatment with N₂O₄ or nitric acid. It is easy to handle and stable due to the presence of coordinative NO³⁻ moieties. It also finds application in the field of nanomaterial synthesis.

Application

Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate can be used as a starting material:

• For the electrochemical synthesis of a LaMnO₃ thin film coating on stainless steel substrates.
• In the solvothermal process for formation of doped lanthanide oxysulfide, La₂O₂S, in order to advance possible applications of this material in phosphors, fluorescent display tubes or heat transfer measurement.
• For the chemoselective catalytic deprotection of acetonides.
• In the preparation of highly active and nearly neutral lanthanum(III)nitrate alkoxide catalyst.

Features and Benefits

• High stability
• Low toxicity
• Mild reaction condition
• Chemoselectivity
• Inexpensive
