Abstract: The lower hydrates RE(NCS)3·mH2O(when RE=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, m=4.5; when RE=Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Yb, Y, m=3) were prepared by means of dehydration of corresponding higher hydrates RE(NCS)3·nH2O (when RE=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, n=7;when RE=Sm, Eu ..Gd, Dy, Ho, Yb, Y, n=6). The melting points of RE(NCS)3·mH2O and RE(NCS)3·nH2O were determined by means of capillary tubes.Both integral heats of solution of RE(NCS)3·mH2O and RE(NCS)3·nH2O (except Y) in water were measured calorimetically at 298.15K. The standard enthalpies of formation of ten lower hydrates RE(NCS)3·mH2O were obtained. The standard dehydration enthalpies △Hn→m°of higher hydrates RE(NCS)3·nH2O to corresponding lower hydrates RE(NCS)3·mH2O and lattice energies of RE(NCS)3·mH2O were also calculated. The corresponding data of RE(NCS)3· mH2O (RE=Tb, Er, Tm, Lu) were estimated.
