Common Applications
- Organic Synthesis: Acts as a Lewis acid catalyst (such as converting aldehydes to acetals or aiding in xanthene derivative synthesis).
- Materials Science: Used as a precursor to synthesize lanthanum nanomaterials and carbon nanotube/carbon fiber hybrids.
- Biochemical Research: Utilized to block calcium and divalent cation channels.
- Scintillators & Optics: Used in cerium-doped scintillator materials.
Safety & Handling
- Hazards: Corrosive and an irritant; causes severe skin and tissue destruction, and exhibits high corrosivity on metals like steel.
- Storage: Must be stored tightly sealed in a dry environment because it is strongly hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture from the air to form hydrates.
If you let me know what specific application or reaction you are planning to use the anhydrous lanthanum chloride for, I can share appropriate handling precautions or stoichiometric guidance.
