Lanthanum dicarbide and sesquicarbide are prepared by heating lanthanum dihydride with the stoicheiometric amounts of grsphite. The dicarbide is diamagnetic and the sesquicarbide very slightly paramagnetic, indicating almost complete delocalization of the extra valency electrons in a conduction band. Reactions of the carbides with a variety of reagents are studied and compared with the corresponding reactions of calcium carbide, the gaseous products being identified and quantitatively determined by infrared spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography.
