The title compound, [La(NO 3 )(C 6 H 15 NO 3 ) 2 ](NO 3 ) 2 , contains a network of [La(NO 3 )(C 6 H 15 NO 3 ) 2 ] 2+ cations and nitrate counter‐ions. The crystal packing is influenced by cation‐to‐anion O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a structure with one‐dimensional character. The ten‐coordinate La atom and a nitrate anion have site symmetry 2. The fact that triethanolamine can bind to such diverse cations as Li + and La 3+ militates against possible applications that require selective binding of ligand to metal.
