Lanthanum(La)Oxide

Lanthanum Oxide, also known as a highly insoluble thermally stable Lanthanum source, is an inorganic compound containing the rare earth element lanthanum and oxygen. It is suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications, and used in some ferroelectric materials, and is a feedstock for certain catalysts, among other uses.

Lanthanum Carbonate

Lanthanum Carbonate is a salt formed by lanthanum(III) cations and carbonate anions with the chemical formula La2(CO3)3. Lanthanum carbonate is used as a starting material in lanthanum chemistry, particularly in forming mixed oxides.

Cerium(III) Carbonate

Cerium(III) Carbonate Ce2(CO3)3, is the salt formed by cerium(III) cations and carbonate anions. It is a water insoluble Cerium source that can easily be converted to other Cerium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcin0ation). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids.

Lanthanum Hydroxide

Lanthanum Hydroxide is a highly water insoluble crystalline Lanthanum source, which can be obtained by adding an alkali such as ammonia to aqueous solutions of lanthanum salts such as lanthanum nitrate. This produces a gel-like precipitate that can then be dried in air. Lanthanum hydroxide does not react much with alkaline substances, however is slightly soluble in acidic solution. It is used compatibly with higher (basic) pH environments.

Cerium Hydroxide

Cerium(IV) Hydroxide, also known as ceric hydroxide, is a highly water insoluble crystalline Cerium source for uses compatible with higher (basic) pH environments. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ce(OH)4. It is a yellowish powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in concentrated acids.

Lanthanum(III) Chloride

Lanthanum(III) Chloride Heptahydrate is an excellent water soluble crystalline Lanthanum source, which is an inorganic compound with the formula LaCl3. It is a common salt of lanthanum which is mainly used in research and compatible with chlorides. It is a white solid that is highly soluble in water and alcohols.

Cerium(III) Oxalate

Cerium(III) Oxalate (Cerous Oxalate) is the inorganic cerium salt of oxalic acid, which is highly insoluble in water and converts to the oxide when heated (calcined). It is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula of Ce2(C2O4)3. It could be obtained by the reaction of oxalic acid with cerium(III) chloride.
