The first study into the alcohol solvation of lanthanum halide [LaX 3 ] derivatives as a means to lower the processing temperature for the production of the LaBr 3 scintillators was undertaken using methanol (MeOH) Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript indicated that the bulk material for 5 appear to have multiple solvated species, 6 is consistent with the single crystal, and 7 was too broad to elucidate structural aspects. Multinuclear NMR ( 139 La) indicated that these compounds do not retain their structure in MeOD. TGA/DTA data revealed that the de-solvation temperatures of the MeOH derivatives 4 -6 were slightly higher in comparison to their hydrated counterparts.
