%X The crystal structures of the nonahydrates of the rare earth trifluoromethanesulfonates, [M(OH2)9] [CF3SO3]3 have been determined at 295 K for the configurations fO, f7, f14, i.e. M = La, Gd, Lu, together with that of the yttrium analogue. The structures are similar to those of the rare earth ethyl sulfate nonahydrates, belonging to space group P6,/m (hexagonal) with cell dimensions a &#8776; 13.7, c &#8776; 7.5 Å, Z 2, with the coordination about the rare earth atom being a tricapped trigonal prism. The structure is compared with that found from repulsion energy calculations.
