Abstract

Anhydrous rare-earth halides are prepared by the conversion of the rare-earth oxide to the halide by means of its reaction with the appropriate ammonium halide. Without transfer from the reaction vessel, the halide is melted, then crystallized by slow cooling. The resulting solid usually contains single crystals large enough to permit spectroscopic studies of the compounds.
