Chemical Structure

Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate CAS 10277-43-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate is closely related to an inorganic composition in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate (CAS 10277-43-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula LaNO3H2O, MW 218.93 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an inorganic composition, Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.93 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
