title: Sodium lanthanum(III) sulfate monohydrate, NaLa(SO4)2.H2O.
abstract: The structure of NaLaIII(SO4)2.H2O consists of distorted Na-O6 octahedra, La-O9 complexes in the form of distorted tricapped trigonal prisms, and slightly irregular tetrahedral sulfate ions. All bond distances fall within normal limits. The sulfate ions manifest rigid-body behavior but this is not the case for either of the cation complexes. The single water molecule is modelled as having O-atom disorder but an ordered H atom. Hydrogen bonds involve only sulfate O atoms as acceptors. The absolute structure has been determined.
