Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate is a water-soluble inorganic salt containing lanthanum in its +3 oxidation state, primarily used in catalysis, glass polishing, and as a precursor in the synthesis of lanthanum-based materials. Its documented applications also include making incandescent gas mantles and serving as an ingredient in antiseptic, disinfectant and biocide formulations. This high-purity reagent has a CAS number of 10277-43-7, with the molecular formula La(NO3)3·6H2O and a molecular weight of 433.01 g/mol. It requires careful handling due to its hazardous nature (Signal Word: Danger) and should be stored at ambient conditions. Molekula supplies Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
