CAS 25721-92-0: Acetic acid, lanthanum(3+) salt, hydrate (2:3)

Lanthanum acetate sesquihydrate is an inorganic compound that is used to produce the optical and electronic materials lanthanum oxide, lanthanum trifluoroacetate, and lanthanum fluoride. The material is often used as a dopant in the production of oxide-based semiconductors. Lanthanum acetate sesquihydrate is synthesized by reacting lanthanum metal with acetic acid. It can also be produced by reacting zirconium with trifluoroacetic acid followed by heating at high temperatures, which produces zirconium acetate. This product may contain impurities such as silicon dioxide, ferric oxide, and silica. Lanthanum has a crystalline structure with six-membered rings of alternating oxygen atoms and lanthanide ions.

Lanthanum(III) acetate sesquihydrate is used in specialty glass and in water treatment. It is used in the preparation of phenolate-bridged dilanthanum(III) complex, which is considered as a model for metalloproteins in applied chemistry. Further, it is used to prepare nanoparticulate porous lanthanum oxyfluoride (LaOF) films. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
