Preparation of Lanthanium Chloride:
Anhydrous lanthanium(III) chloride can be produced by the ammonium chloride route.

In the first step, lanthanium oxide is heated with ammonium chloride to produce the ammonium salt of the pentachloride:
La2O3 + 10 NH4Cl → 2 (NH4)2LaCl5 + 6 H2O + 6 NH3

In the second step, the ammonium chloride salt is converted to the trichlorides by heating in a vacuum at 350-400 °C:
(NH4)2LaCl5 → LaCl3 + 2 HCl + 2 NH3
