Abstract
Rare-earth salts of dodecanoic acid (lauric acid) have been prepared and characterized. The compounds have the stoichiometry Ln(C11H23COO)3, where Ln = Y, La, Ce-Lu (except Pm). The thermal behaviour of these rare-earth dodecanoates has been investigated by hot-stage polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), and high-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis. The compounds have a lamellar bilayer structure in the solid state, with the alkyl chains in an all-trans conformation normal to the ionic sublayer. The size of the
