A layered polymorph series of rare earth hydroxides has been developed by the conversion of RE
2 (OH)5 Cl·mH2 O to RE(OH)3 ·nH2 O (RE = rare earths) with a typical layered structure with interlayer water molecules. A temperature-induced phase transition from the layered polymorph to its hexagonal form is completed at approximately 300 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
