LaC 2 reacts with water to form acetylene, C 2 H 2 and a mixture of complex hydrocarbons. [3] LaC 2 is a metallic conductor, in contrast to CaC 2 which is an insulator. [3] The crystal structure of LaC 2 shows that it contains C 2 units with a C-C bond length of 130.3 pm, which is longer than the C-C bond length in calcium carbide, 119.2 pm, which is close to that of ethyne.

Lanthanum oxide is used in optical materials; often the optical glasses are doped with La 2 O 3 to improve the glass' refractive index, chemical durability, and mechanical strength. [8] 3 B 2 O 3 + La 2 O 3 → 2 La(BO 2) 3 [clarification needed] The addition of the La 2 O 3 to the glass melt leads to a higher glass transition temperature from ...
Two Indian chemical companies have been indicted for allegedly importing ingredients for the highly addictive opioid fentanyl into the United States and Mexico, the U.S. Department of Justice said ...
Lam Research Corporation is an American supplier of wafer-fabrication equipment and related services to the semiconductor industry. [2] Its products are used primarily in front-end wafer processing, which involves the steps that create the active components of semiconductor devices (transistors, capacitors) and their wiring (interconnects).
Phenylephrine, sold under the brand names Neosynephrine and Sudafed PE among others, is a medication used as a decongestant for uncomplicated nasal congestion in the form of a nasal spray or oral tablet, [5] to dilate the pupil, to increase blood pressure given intravenously in cases of low blood pressure, and to relieve hemorrhoids as a suppository.
Phycoerythrin (PE) is a red protein-pigment complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, present in cyanobacteria, [1] red algae [2] and cryptophytes, [3] accessory to the main chlorophyll pigments responsible for photosynthesis.The red pigment is due to the prosthetic group, phycoerythrobilin, which gives phycoerythrin its red color.
