Applications
UsesLanthanum(III) chloride is used to prepare other lanthanum salts. The anhydrous chloride is employed to produce lanthanum metal.
DescriptionLanthanum(III) chloride is a relatively stable non-homogeneous catalyst widely used in a variety of organic reactions or transformations. These include the solvent-free preparation of substituted olefins via the Knoevenagel condensation method; the one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones; and as a precursor for the synthesis of La/V co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles via the sol-gel method.
UsesLanthanum chloride is used to prepare other lanthanum salts. The anhydrous chloride is employed to produce lanthanum metal.
UsesLanthanum chloride is a precursor for synthesis of lanthanum phosphate nano rods and used in gamma detectors. It is also used as a catalyst for high pressure oxidative chlorination of methane to chloromethane with hydrochloric acid and oxygen. In organic synthesis, lanthanum trichloride acts as lewis acid for the conversion of aldehydes to acetals.
