The liquid densities of cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium samarium, and yttrium trifluorides are presented at temperatures from the melting point to 2600 deg K. From the density values obtained the molar volumes and cubical thermal coefficients of expansion are calculated. The densities at the melting and boiling points are: cerium trifluoride, 4.631 g/cc(l733 deg K) and 3.8l9 g/ cc(2600 deg K); lanthanum trifluoride, 4.634 g/cc(1700 deg K) and 4.020 g/cc (2600 deg K); praseodymium trifluoride, 4.862 g/cc(1643 deg K) and 4.192 g/ cc(2600 deg K); samarium trifluoride, 4.879 g/cc (1670 deg K) and 4.362 g/cc(2600 deg K); and yttrium trifluoride, 3.808 g/cc(1660 deg K) and 3.376 g/cc(2500 deg K).
