Among the most important compounds of elements in general and lanthanons in particular are the anhydrous halides, especially the chlorides. The chlorides are used widely for the production of metals both by elec-trolytic and metallothermic methods. They are the starting materials from which many other anhydrous compounds, especially the divalent lanthanon com-pounds, are prepared. Normally, anhydrouschlorides are used for studying thermochemical properties ofthe lanthanons and for studying their reactions in non-aqueous solutions. Although most of the methods for preparing the anhydrous lanthanon halides havebeen known since the beginning of this century, investigators still experience difficulty in preparing these com-pounds in pure form (28, 74). Also some investigators appear not to know of the existence of some of the earliest methods (74).Pure aqueous solutions of lanthanon halides are prepared readily. The lanthanon halides which separate from these solutions usually retain 6 to 7 moles of water after the unbound water has been removed. Most of the water can be removed by careful dehydration below 100 but it is difficult to remove the last mole of water without decomposing the halide to some extent. Normally, one would expect to prepare anhydrous
